Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Non-Disclosure Provisions Under the Freedom of Information Act: Discussion with Information Commissioner

12:35 pm

Ms Emily O'Reilly:

No. A small community football club or small community enterprise might receive a certain amount of public money and one might think the threshold was so low that it should not even apply. It is a matter of adopting a common sense approach which will be difficult to do. I do not know whether it is amenable to a one-size-fits-all approach, but I hope a rational means of arriving at a fair decision that respects the public interest will be reached eventually.
