Air Corps whistleblower facing dismissal in August

A serving Air Corps whistleblower is facing dismissal from the Defence Forces next month, due to an “industrial dispute”.

The Irish Examiner can reveal that the man, who made protected disclosures about health and safety management of hazardous chemicals at Casement Aerodrome, Baldonnel, has been summoned to appear before a Defence Forces medical board in August.

A brief report, issued prior to the board meeting, has accused the member of “chronic ineffectivity” due to anxiety and a “work-related industrial dispute”.
