152. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation the procedures that apply where a protected disclosure contains several distinct alleged relevant wrongdoings which potentially fall within the functions or competence of different prescribed persons or other suitable persons; and whether individual matters contained in such a report may be transmitted to different appropriate recipients. [69791/26]
This parliamentary question seeks clarification on how authorities should manage whistleblowing reports that contain multiple, distinct allegations. It explores whether a single protected disclosure can be split and sent to different oversight bodies if the alleged wrongdoings fall under different jurisdictions. Public officials and whistleblowers in Ireland may be affected by how these reports are processed. The inquiry aims to ensure that complex disclosures are handled efficiently and directed to the correct competent authorities.
