225. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if his attention has been drawn to the fact that, seven months on from an examination of a protected disclosure by a person (details supplied), nothing has been done to address the issues raised in the disclosure; the reason the person is not being properly paid; the reason they have been removed from the payroll again in error; if the second disclosure submitted by the person will be examined; if he will address their inappropriate treatment by management; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43592/17]

The case to which the Deputy refers was dealt with in accordance with the protected disclosures policy in place, including an external review, on foot of which various actions were taken.  The case is currently the subject of proceedings which were instituted by the individual in question before the Workplace Relations Commission, as is their right, and it would not therefore be appropriate to comment further on the protected disclosure at this time.

I am informed by the Irish Prison Service that the individual in question is being paid in line with the applicable civil service regulations.

Additional matters raised in recent correspondence from the individual in question are currently being reviewed by the Irish Prison Service Protected Disclosures recipient.
