Ireland? In Ireland, civil servants are not allowed to express political affiliation or opinion, so rather than it being a case of "we don't like what you said", it would be a case of "you said something political, and it persists."
I'm not sure if the contract for Revenue is exactly the same as the civil service, but I would presume on this front it is very similar.
- DoubleGlazing 8y agoYep. There have been three occasions where the IT contracting firm I was working for sent me to work on government IT projects as a contractor. None of them were for Revenue, but it is Revenue who do these checks for all other departments. On one occasion my employer managed to pull a few strings to get me on the project (DSP), on the other two I was told no government work for me (HSE and DoT). On one of the three three occasions I was forwarded an email from Revenue that said "he expresses a desire for personal privacy that indicates he would be unwilling to fully embrace the governments data sharing strategy". I did write to a few news outlets about this, none were interested. Even the ICCL wasn't interested, which really surprised me.
