Employers should show leadership in protecting whistleblowers

Transparency International Ireland urges employers to protect whistleblowers

Dublin, 20 January 2012 - Transparency International Ireland is calling on employers to show leadership in protecting workers who speak up in the public interest.

The anti-corruption group says recent coverage of the treatment of whistleblowers on RTE radio’s Liveline programme reveals only the tip of the ice-berg of a problem which leaves whistleblowers exposed to retaliation from employers.
