Mr. Robert Watt:
We signed up to the initiative a number of years ago. The Irish Government, along with other countries, committed to the principles of open government around the freedom of information, the regulation of lobbying, formal consultation when it comes to politics and a variety of different measures to improve the effectiveness of government and be more open about how we go about it, as the Deputy mentioned.
