Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Land Development Agency Bill 2019: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. John Coleman:

I do not think it would change. As Ms Graham mentioned, the Bill as drafted, replicates the most recent examples that have come through the Oireachtas and I guess that is the starting point. The Bill, as drafted, does not exempt the LDA from FOI. All basically non-business-related activities would be subject to the FOI. Requests relating to whom I meet and the service providers we engage will still be part of that. Obviously, if the committee has concerns that somehow that is inconsistent with what we are trying to do, I am sure we can take that away and pick up on that. Ms Graham may wish to add to that.
