I have been asked to post anonymously to help ensure that the Irish Government is held to account for its treatment of whistleblowers. Micheál Martin’s Government—including Helen McEntee and Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan—has been made aware of the whistleblowers named below and their protected disclosures. Yet those who raise serious concerns continue to face silence, obstruction and, in some cases, alleged retaliation. Attempts to silence RTÉ or prevent the press from reporting matters of profound public importance are the actions associated with authoritarian government, not a healthy democracy. Ireland cannot credibly lecture Slovakia or any other European country about whistleblower protection while serious concerns about its own treatment of whistleblowers remain unanswered. This is about the public’s right to hear, read and examine the truth. The removal or suppression of important journalism concerning protected disclosures must not be allowed to stand. RTÉ must be free to report matters of legitimate public interest, and the Irish Government must be required to answer for its record. Ireland’s whistleblowers must be heard, its press must remain free, and those responsible for wrongdoing must be held to account. @MichealMartinTD @HMcEntee @OCallaghanJim
