General Scheme of the Protected Disclosures (Amendment) Bill 2021: Discussion

Any new legislation should incorporate all previous legislation relating to the area. That is of the utmost importance. I should reiterate that legislation can only go so far. I touched on the culture issue, as did a few of the other contributors. It is vitally important that bone fide whistleblowers are offered full protection against discrimination by their colleagues or outside forces, and also that their financial welfare is taken care of.
