The Protected Disclosure Act 2014 (No 14 of 2014), as amended by the Protected Disclosures (Amendment) Act 2022, protects workers in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors from retaliation if they speak up about wrongdoing in the workplace. Workers can report relevant wrongdoing internally to their employer or externally to a third party, such as a prescribed person. Persons who make protected disclosures (sometimes referred to as “whistle-blowers”) are protected by law, meaning they should not be treated unfairly or lose their job because they have made a protected disclosure.
The Commissioners of Irish Lights is strongly committed to ensuring that the culture and work environment are such that any worker is encouraged and supported in ‘speaking-up’ on any relevant wrongdoing that may adversely impact our ability to carry out our role to the highest standard possible.
