Institutional Burials Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-06-28
============================================================

Eileen Flynn (IND), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I move amendment No. 37:
In page 33, between lines 31 and 32, to insert the following: “(6) Nothing in this section shall prejudice the rights of those who wish to expose wrongdoing by making a protected disclosure under the Protected Disclosures Acts 2014 to 2022.”.
Amendment No. 37 seeks to ensure that nothing in this Bill prevents someone from making a protected disclosure on wrongdoing. This amendment is a small addition to section 30. I understand that the Minister of State has the notes in front of her. We hope that these provisions do not prevent somebody from speaking up in the interest of the public good. Last week, we discussed this matter in the Seanad and I have raised it again today during our discussion of amendment No. 37.
