Terry Prone: Blowing the whistle on poor protections after speaking out

Whistleblowers are quite properly protected, and efforts to portray any of them as serial offenders in the whistleblowing area miss the point

In this country’s public sector, whistleblowers are quite properly protected, and efforts to portray any one of them as serial offenders in the whistleblowing area miss the point.

Interesting, the contrasts between Irish whistleblowers and American whistleblowers. Although Irish whistleblowers may get moral satisfaction from their actions, they don’t usually get rich. 

In the last ten years, American whistleblowers in the private sector have not only got moral satisfaction, but stacks of cash from their actions. Leo Varadkar and Helen McEntee, please note.
