Should not be named. I will use Mr. O'Brien's language as it is a better way of doing business. There were concerns in the small voluntary agency that cannot be named that funding for its work might be negatively impacted by virtue of a protected disclosure made. Minutes of the HSE meeting held on 12 November 2009 discuss the need to remind the small agency that it was entirely reliant on HSE funding which was perhaps a reminder to stop the whistleblower pursuing this further, a bit like Donald Trump telling James Comey that he hopes Comey will not pursue an inquiry. Was that line taken in this case?
