I have been advised that from 1 January 2018 to 30 September 2018 the Department has not received any Protected Disclosures from Departmental staff (Vote 24). I can also advise the Deputy that up until 1 July 2018 the Head of Internal Audit in my Department was designated as the Recipient for Protected Disclosures in the Irish Prison Service (Vote 21), and received Disclosures from six individuals in that regard in 2018. Since 1 July 2018, the Irish Prison Service has implemented a revised Protected Disclosures Policy, under which a Protected Disclosures Manager has been appointed, and provision made for external assessment and investigation of disclosures:.
