'Isolated and vilified': Air Corps informant says he’ll retire early

An Air Corps whistleblower is to take early retirement from the Defence Forces, less than two months after telling the junior defence minister that he had received “continuing and unwarranted treatment” for making protected disclosures on health-and-safety issues.

Last November, the whistleblower wrote to minister of state Paul Kehoe and asked him to “clarify his position” as to his ongoing situation within the air corps.
