These disclosures have been progressed in line with the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications Protected Disclosure Policy, which is available on the gov.ie website.
All reports of wrongdoing have been assessed and, where it was identified that investigation was necessary, investigated in line with the Department’s policy. The Department contracted Messrs McCann Fitzgerald to conduct the investigations.
