It leads into my question. I accept Ms McPhillips needed time to explain that. I accept the last part of what she said where it is not a protected disclosure. The Department deals with sensitive issues. Is there a process in place? It was a suggestion from the person in the Department. Is there a process in place, which has been outlined to staff, whereby staff can elevate issues? It is very similar to the Garda Commissioner's role in section 41. Is there a process internally, which has been communicated to staff, whereby staff can elevate something to Ms McPhillips or the Minister without having to go through the channels?
