Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

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

1:05 pm

Ms Emily O'Reilly:

I take the Deputy's point. I find this quite an excruciating exercise as well. It is like doing leaving certificate maths. There are a few items that even now I must read very closely. That is partly because we prepared the report a while ago and partly because there are so many matters involved. We will attempt to make the report clearer. I was grateful to Deputy Fleming for making it clearer earlier on. One fights fire with fire, which is why a particular type of language is used in the reports. One must speak to that particular kind of language. I accept that it is not very accessible.
