Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages.
10:30 am
Ivana Bacik (Independent)
I move amendment No. 24:
In page 78, line 44, after "purpose," to insert "as giving rise to civil or criminal liability or".
The amendment seeks to strengthen the whistleblower's section, section 112, as we wish to ensure there is no omission in the protection of whistleblowers. The section only covers protection against an action for breach of confidence and does not provide for immunity from liability for such disclosures. The amendment would clarify the protection provided for whistleblowers and improve the provision.
