Mr. Pat Healy:

There was a second protected disclosure then by someone who worked with the organisation in March 2010. That is the point I was making. The Deputy asked how those who brought forward protected disclosures were dealt with. Two of the individuals were outside of the organisation and brought the disclosure to the authorised officer. Subsequently, as the investigation was commenced in March 2010, a further disclosure was initiated. The terms of reference for the inquiry were adjusted to encompass the totality of those protected disclosures to form part of the inquiry.

In answer to the question, there were two separate disclosures - one from two individuals in a voluntary organisation and one separately from one who worked with the health service.
