Amendment No. 58 replicates my amendments Nos. 59 and 60 and I am happy to go with Deputy Ó Laoghaire's amendment. He has given a good account of why it has been put forward. Section 41 deals with circumstances when a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2014 means that personal data contained in a record may be disclosed if it comes pursuant to a freedom of information request. The objective of the amendments is to broaden the applicable statutory provisions so that they include not just the Freedom of Information Act 2014 but also the European Communities regulations on re-use of public sector information and on access to information on the environment.
