I spoke to one of the whistleblowers this morning and he advised me that they were encouraged in correspondence by the Minister for Justice and Equality to bring all the evidence they have into the public domain and to the appropriate mechanisms within the State. The whistleblower has given the dossier of evidence he has to the Chairman of the Committee of Public Accounts. The Chairman would be prevented from doing his job if the Garda Commissioner demands the return of those files.
