It seems the Information Commissioner has been ignored by the two groups she just referenced. She has been ignored by the political apparatus. If I understand matters correctly, none of the 36 recommendations made by her was taken on by the last committee. This appears to show that she has been ignored by the political establishment. It has taken three years to get this report from the Department of Finance. That suggests that she has been ignored by various parts of the administrative establishment as well. Does her office have sufficient power and sanctions? I know she cannot sanction politicians but does she have any power to compel Departments like the Department of Finance to provide her with information, which is a statutory requirement, when they continue to ignore her?
