Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2012: Discussion
1:05 pm
Ms Emily O'Reilly:
Yes. The contract for services issue has been slightly altered in the amended Act, but my understanding is that if a public body comes under the Act and if a private firm or company supplies services to it, the records relating to that - allowing for the usual exemptions such as commercial sensitivity and all of that, subject to a public interest test - would, potentially, be releasable under FOI regulation.
