Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 July 2018
51. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the way in which he has responded to a protected disclosure regarding the untimely deaths of Air Corps personnel made to him in January 2018. [32843/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy has previously raised a number of issues relating to allegations concerning health and safety in the Air Corps. As the Deputy will be aware, I appointed an independent third party to review such allegations made in a number of protected disclosures. I both published the report of the reviewer and sought and received the views of the individuals who made the disclosures.
I am currently considering the matter in light of those views and the additional correspondence referred to by the Deputy. However, in the context of ongoing litigation, a number of legal issues have arisen and legal advice has been sought to inform my consideration of the next steps in the process.
