Transparency International Ireland (TI Ireland) has welcomed the Protected Disclosures Act 2014, which became law today.
“The Act is a very important step in providing whistleblowers with the protection they deserve,” said John Devitt, Chief Executive of TI Ireland.
“The new law draws on best practice guidelines and takes a more comprehensive approach similar to that adopted in the UK, New Zealand and South Africa. For the first time, whistleblower legislation offers a safety net to workers in all sectors of the Irish economy,” he added.
