Ms Aoife Rafferty:

When we were formally approached by PFA Ireland at the end of January 2024, we went about understanding what was the best way to engage in the context of providing support to those who were coming forward. It was also important for us to understand how people can raise their concerns in a confidential space. A board oversight committee was created. Through discussions with that committee, it was determined that we should have a confidential space for individuals to raise their concerns. It is important that we create an environment of safety first whereby people have the ability to raise confidential information at any time.
