I agree with previous contributions that a cap on appeal fees would be very welcome. The principle of having no fees, as was in the original legislation introduced by Eithne Fitzgerald, is important. It is important to re-establish it because it is a psychological matter for the citizen to know that there is no fee to find out about open government. The principle is important and it is unfortunate that it has taken ten years to put the legislation right after what was done in 2003. I congratulate the Minister and his officials on their work.
