Mr. Tony O'Brien:

However, in the period since 2009 and certainly since I became director general of the HSE, through the appointment of Leigh Gath and my own response to what happened in Áras Attracta, I have made it very clear that I welcome people within our wider services standing up and blowing the whistle, making protected disclosures, or whatever terminology we like to use. The fact that they are writing that at this point is of significant concern. That is the primary reason I intend to meet with them, in order to ensure that any damage to that relationship can be rebuilt.
