Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

There are statutory requirements and the Department has its own policy, which is in line with the guidelines of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. We must operate within the legislation and our guidelines in the Department. Likewise, institutions must operate within the legislation. There is, however, room within those arrangements as there is no prescribed set of arrangements put in place. As Mr. Beausang has described, we have engaged and all public bodies must give consideration to approaches for providing appropriate advice and support, and for access to employee assistance to workers who make disclosures. Exactly how they do it is a matter for them.
