Section 22 of the Protected Disclosures Act 2014 requires each public body to publish an annual report setting out the number of protected disclosures received in the preceding year and the action taken. The annual reports for my Department for the years in question are available on gov.ie at the following link:www.gov.ie/en/collection/20f06-protected-disclosures-annual-reports/

In summary, 11 protected disclosures were received over the three years in question. All of them were received from workers in bodies in relation to which the Minister has legislative functions. No protected disclosures were received from workers of my Department in the period in question.
