"Ger Malone, a longstanding union organiser, reported enduring 29 penalisation acts after disclosing mistreatment of members within two local authorities, raising serious concerns since 2020."
"Siptu's representative acknowledged only three protected disclosures and refuted Ms. Malone's claims of penalisation, asserting that many allegations concerned local authorities, not the union."
"During the pandemic, Ms. Malone raised alarms about employee treatment at Kilkenny and Carlow councils, citing systematic victimisation and safety protocol failings."
"Ms. O'Loughlin contended that Ms. Malone had disregarded established procedures and failed to inform the union before giving a media interview discussing her complaints."
