I wish to raise an important case concerning whistleblowing which has been brought to my attention. I will not name the individual because I know it is not the practice of the House. A 59-year-old German national who is a former employee of IBM Ireland's sales division reported apparent and alleged irregularities in IBM Ireland's sales figures this year. She was brought to court by the company because it was seeking equipment she had - namely, a laptop and a USB stick.
