Extra protection for whistleblowers approved at AGSI conference
A call for more robust protections for whistleblowers has been unanimously backed by middle ranking Gardaí.
Delegates at the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors conference debated the motion in Killarney in Co Kerry this morning.
The AGSI wants the Garda confidential reporting charter reviewed and revised to safeguard whistleblowers.
The debate came in the wake of the recent controversies involving Sergeant Maurice McCabe and former Garda John Wilson.
However, the association does not believe the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission should be considered as the confidential recipient.
