Ms Susan Cliffe:

We look at transfer of information to external agencies in two ways, one of which is under information that is specific to the protected disclosure process. In 2024, we had 34 referrals from that process.

In 2024, 28 referrals were made to An Garda Síochána, two to the Department of Social Protection, two to the fire authorities, one to the Food Safety Authority of Ireland and one to HSE adult safeguarding.
