Noel Dempsey (Meath, Fianna Fail)

Deputy Broughan described it well in talking about how to define an elephant on paper. Writing a definition of a whistleblower might provide someone an opportunity to argue the case. While the information was of a nature that it should have been disclosed, people could get off on a technicality through a lawyer's argument that the person who disclosed the information did not fit the definition of a whistleblower. It is as well to leave it as it is. I cannot remember whether the Labour Party Bill had a specific definition.
