Dr. O'Dell is a professor in a university. I am sure there is sensitive information that the university does not want made freely available and that it wants to have control over, and rightly so because it is the university's information. Does he not think that RTÉ is the same? To be fair to Dr. O'Dell he answered the question and said that RTÉ has never refused a request for any information. I wonder why this legislation is necessary. What would Dr. O'Dell think if we brought in legislation to make every bit of information in his university freely available to the general public? I am sure there is very sensitive information that he would not want to be freely available.
