I take Ms O'Kelly's point about the user group. I have strong views on where the State has a monopoly. Irish Water and the grid, for example, should be covered by freedom of information.

On why the delegation is before the committee, they refer in their own submission to the public interest. Often I have a question over the public interest. Unfortunately, the group that is here is probably not one of those to whom I should be talking. Those in public life do not necessarily put their families, their wives and children, into the media. I refer to double standards. I am merely asking for their viewpoint on this. Are wives, children and employees fair game in the context of the public interest?
