Protected Disclosure Legislation: Discussion
Mr. Mick Clifford:
As I said, the issue of penalisation, in particular, does not appear to be covered in the Act to the extent that it has prevented penalisation, as I have encountered on a number of occasions. The other issue, although this probably cannot be dealt with through legislation, relates to delays in respect of investigations. I try to look at the issue neutrally but, to me, this appears in some instances to be connected to a wish not to get to the bottom of things.
