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

Ms Ciara Morgan:

Obviously, we do not know of individual cases, but this is where the network of prescribed persons is very important. We have a comprehensive network of prescribed persons. If a person is not confident that his or her report is being dealt with, then he or she can take that to the outside body which is independent, which can look at it, and which has that mandate to look at it. I believe this hopes to address that issue.
