"University of Limerick whistleblowers reach two years under suspension", is the headline of an article dated 12 June 2017, written by Ms Anne Sheridan and appearing in the Limerick Leader. Just to let the Chairman know, he is quoted in this matter. It strikes me that there is a world of a difference in the experience of the two whistleblowers, the two women who came forward and whose evidence is actually very upsetting. It was seen on RTE. I am sure Professor Fitzgerald saw it. I have no reason to believe that he was anything but moved by what they had to say. They are suspended. Their lives have been turned topsy-turvy, their reputations traduced, their health impinged upon, because of this experience, for coming forward in good faith, and yet the HR director, Tommy Foy, who misled the Department, is still in situ.
