Ms Emily O'Reilly:

Are people going to discriminate? There will be small people involved in these agreements, as well as the bigger boys and girls. There is a question of fairness and equity in that regard. If it came to me as an FOI issue, I would be asking what was the public interest in releasing the details of some couple's or family's insolvency arrangements versus the public's right to see that this was not being abused by individuals. I cannot give a blanket "yes" or "no" answer. Intuitively one would say it was not fair to people who were caught because the banks threw too much money at them and they were caught in negative equity. At another level one might say it was fair because they were in hock for so many millions or billions of euro and it is only fair that we see what happens now.

I repeat what I have said several times - it is a matter of balancing of public interests. I would not give a "yes" or "no" answer to it.
