Speak Up Report 2015

This report draws from anonymised data collected from over 500 people who have approached Transparency International (TI) Ireland’s Speak Up helpline for information, referrals or support since 2011. The report provides information on the counties or regions many of our clients and callers are located in, as well as the
gender and age profiles of people calling us. It highlights the types of concerns we are approached with, the processes that people believe are abused, and the sectors and institutions they consider to be vulnerable to corruption and other forms of wrongdoing. We offer an analysis of corruption risks based on this data and some recommendations to help address these risks. The report also analyses the Protected Disclosures Act 2014 and outlines some challenges and opportunities arising
from the new whistleblowing legislation.
