To return to the public bodies that make decisions, there must be hundreds of people making decisions. Let us take for example the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. I am sure there are umpteen officers in its different buildings, offices and sections dealing with FOI requests. Has Ms O'Reilly's office any mechanism for establishing the level of consistency there is within the various public bodies with regard to dealing with these requests?
