## Resource

Gardaí defend their whistleblowing system after RTÉ’s Investigates exposed whistleblower struggles, accusing the broadcaster of rushing them with nearly 90 questions in just a week — while also criticizing RTÉ for promoting the show before responses were even due. The force emphasized legal limits on discussing protected disclosures and ongoing cases, reaffirmed their commitment to protecting whistleblowers and ensuring fair procedures, highlighted Commissioner Harris’s apology to Sgt Maurice McCabe, and confirmed the Anti-Corruption Unit remains active — now with a new manager, higher-ranking leadership, and expanded training from Transparency International Ireland.
