Is that agreed? Agreed. It is not for us to make a value judgment on whether the relevant Department or the Information Commissioner is right but to get an explanation as to why this is happening.

Has Ms O'Reilly ever made a recommendation to the effect that information currently in the public domain should be withdrawn from it? In my experience, the Data Protection Commissioner takes a default position with regard to the sensitivity of data. I imagine there is also a default position in respect of the Information Commissioner that as much information as possible should be public. I am not making a value judgment; I simply presume that is the beginning position in respect of all information. Has Ms O'Reilly ever made an observation in respect of information in the public domain that she believed should not be public?
