Shane Ross (Dublin South, Independent)

The Government has committed to having a referendum on whistleblower legislation in October. Considering the Technical Group has legislation on whistleblowers on the Order Paper, will the Tánaiste consider giving it time, particularly as it does not require a constitutional referendum? There seems to be a strong lobby against whistleblowers, including the Department of Finance and IBEC. It might be good to get a debate on the matter early and urgently.
