You mean the criminals didn’t document their crimes for us? Bastards!
Well this is one we might see prosecutions from, by the government! ^(Just it’ll probably be the whistleblower prosecuted)
I think this is the same guy who blew the whistle on the department of health keeping records on the families of children with autism taking cases to get access to services
This is the same guy who “whistleblew” on the DoH keeping records of people they were in legal proceedings against, which is completely standard legal practice. If they hadn’t been keeping records then *that* be worthy of blowing the whistle.
I think this guy is desperate for attention.
You’d assume this story won’t go anywhere really as the media tends not to attack the civil service with much gusto.
That of course assumes that the story is correct, undoubtedly it will be denied.
I suspect ultimately it will be ignored because it’s easier.
I was doing a report for a public body and was asked not to even email a draft in case it was FOIed. We’d review copies over teams live. When I would send a draft I was requested to label it as a working document, not a draft.
I think a culture of avoiding accountability, for even the most benign of potential criticism is what enables worse things to happen.

Transparency is the key it will set us all free.
Those that hide behind stories and gossip, are the worst of us.
Sadly they also like power and control.
It’s fucking abusive at this stage.
Here we go, one can assume its going to be one thing after the other now as the gravy train has been stopped for repairs and uncle Rodger aint happy…
It’s a good person that stands up for standards when no one else will.
Just say the line lads, _Lessons have been learned_

Fair play Shane Corr, exactly he’s doing his job as a civil servant by pointing out that procedures were not followed. https://twitter.com/cloudforests_ie/status/1565608517146447879?s=21&t=Jr6jOIBr-5DT7Jf3Aj9iCA
