The Information requested by the Deputy is outlined in the table below

Since the Protected Disclosure legislation was introduced in 2014, my Department has received 12 Protected Disclosures as set out in the table above.

Section 16 of the Protected Disclosures Act 2014 imposes an obligation to protect the identity of the discloser and as such I am unable to provide specific information on the nature of disclosures received or information relating to the person(s) who made these disclosures.
