Protected Disclosures
Dail Éireann — 2025-07-17
============================================================

Jack Chambers (FF), Dublin West

Obviously, the European Commission presented a report in July of last year. The review will be launched this year and finalised next year. That wider evaluation will be essential in order to monitor the transposition of the directive into law in Ireland and in other member states. It will provide an opportunity for a wider input regarding the reforms that may be required as part of the broader EU transposition. From a domestic perspective, we will have a statutory review of the operation of the Protected Disclosures Act. This is due to happen in parallel with the EU review over the coming years. In the context of domestic, international and European legislation, it is important that we have the review. We must also look at the ongoing supports that are available to whistleblowers. That will be essential in the period ahead.
