Helen McEntee, the Whistleblowers and Five Months of Silence

There are delays in government, and then there is silence — the sort of silence that begins as an administrative inconvenience and, with the passing of the months, becomes a question in its own right.

On 15 June 2026, I wrote to the Minister for Defence, Helen McEntee TD, concerning serious matters I had previously raised in correspondence dated 14 and 16 April 2026. They concerned whistleblowers; the killings of Irish soldiers and a civilian in circumstances I have described as terrorism; and a separate shooting incident that was the subject of a Military Police investigation, which was simply brushed under the carpet.

On 22 April 2026, I received an official acknowledgement from the Minister's Private Secretary.

It was not an automated receipt or some bureaucratic acknowledgement destined for a filing cabinet. It contained an undertaking.

Mr. Beltran wrote:

“I wish to acknowledge your correspondence on the 16th of April and receipt of your recent correspondence to Minister for Defence, Ms. Helen McEntee TD. Apologies on the delay in acknowledging the correspondence, I am working to response [sic] your correspondence in the coming days.”

“In the coming days.”

That was 151 days ago, as of 20 September — 152 days if 22 April itself is counted as day one. Four months and twenty-nine days. In ordinary English: just short of five months.

And still there is no substantive response.

The irony is difficult to miss. The Department of Defence tells the public that its Customer Charter sets out the standard of service that citizens, including journalists, are entitled to expect. Its complaints procedure expressly recognises delays and failures to provide the expected level of service as matters about which citizens may complain.

To be fair, a departmental target of three working weeks does not necessarily mean that every difficult question must be finally resolved within fifteen working days. An interim reply may satisfy such a benchmark.

But five months of silence after an express promise that a response was being prepared “in the coming days” is something altogether different.

Against the background of continuing public concern about whistleblowers and accountability within the institutions of the Irish State, such silence inevitably raises questions.

Whether it represents administrative failure, avoidance, or something more deliberate.....

What does not require interpretation is the calendar.

The undertaking from the Minister's office was clear and unequivocal: a response was being prepared and would issue “in the coming days.”

So, Minister McEntee, the question is now a remarkably simple one:

Where is my response?

And where is the apology for an undertaking given by your office nearly five months ago and still not honoured?

And, equally importantly, where is the apology for the unacceptable conduct of members of the Army when these exceptionally serious matters of public interest were raised?

Matters concerning whistleblowers, the deaths of Irish soldiers, the murder of an Irish citizen by an agent of a foreign state in Ireland.

The actions of the State are not inconveniences to be brushed aside, nor are they questions to be met with hostility or silence.

They are matters that demand professionalism, accountability and answers.

Government departments quite properly expect citizens to meet deadlines. They expect forms to be submitted on time, appeals to be lodged on time, and correspondence to be answered when required.

It is not unreasonable to expect the same courtesy — and the same standards of accountability — from government.

And I am still waiting for your reply, Ms McEntee...

Incredible that Councillor Gavin Pepper data he acquired from Dublin City Council and published himself last Sunday, has been utterly ignored in our mainstream media.

When will she resign @labour it's beyond ridiculous

[SuperFrank @superfrank56]

@RobCarryBray Unfortunately 💯 correct 😡

[Seán Ó Morchoe @JohnMurphy51]

When a an immigrant supporting politician like Michael Healy Rae gets a few slaps in the gob the media goes into a frenzy, but when a member of the public is raped, murdered or stabbed by migrants invited into this country by politicians just like him the media takes a sedative.

[GP @Graham_dePenros]

Helen McEntee must resign, face an independent investigation into any alleged interference with the administration of justice, and should evidence establish a criminal offence, she must be prosecuted by the appropriate authorities. Politicians do not choose what laws apply to them. All equal under the law. #McEnteeMustResign

[Cllr Gavin Pepper @gavpepper85]

Helen McEntee and Jim O’Callaghan have serious questions to answer over the handling of protected disclosures and the justice system. Accountability must come from the top. In my view, it is time for both Ministers to hand in their tools and resign.

I've heard leftie commentators saying that John Cleese has damaged even ruined his legendary career and reputation because of his remarks and criticism of Islam.

To be Honest... I think he has reinforced and cemented his status as one of Britain's greatest national treasures.👏

[RTÉ News @rtenews]

Opposition politicians have renewed their calls for both the former justice minister Helen McEntee and current Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan to answer questions before the Dáil on the handling of allegations by garda whistleblowers

Hi Sandra, just wondering if you could clarify something in relation to the RTE report from the Soc Dem think in.

The report says that the Soc Dems had 'warned against' the further delaying of carbon tax increases on fuel. However. I just read a statement from Jennifer Whitmore on her website that says she's in favour of delaying the increase. I can't find any direct quotes online that back up the 'warned against' claim.... Any chance you could clarify?
