Tusla whistleblower distressed after his complaint

Whistleblower believed he was on paid leave after making report

A Tusla whistleblower was left “extremely distressed” when he discovered his employment with the child and family agency had been terminated. This was after he had been led to believe he was going on paid leave pending the outcome of an investigation into his claims.

Correspondence seen by the Irish Examiner reveals how an independent third party who recommended that the whistleblower’s allegations warranted an investigation, later wrote to Tusla to express his concern for the whistleblower’s welfare amid financial pressure he was suffering.
