Charlie McCreevy (Kildare North, Fianna Fail)

I do not accept this amendment as it would be unduly prescriptive. The details of the manner in which decisions are issued, reviewed and revoked are best addressed in the context of guidelines rather than legislation. Guidelines on the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 1997 are issued from time to time by the freedom of information central policy unit of the Department of Finance. The provisions of the new Bill will receive careful attention in this context.

Amendment put and declared lost.

Amendments Nos. 31 to 33, inclusive not moved.
