Of course Dr. O'Dell does. Why would he not? Freedom of information is necessary and essential but the kind of rubbish that is going on out there with it now is outrageous. No disrespect to Deputy Costello but if he was in a busy constituency office he would know all about freedom of information requests every single day. That is all I can say. In relation to this legislation, I am not for it or against it; I am only teasing out why we should or should not progress it. Dr. O'Dell has not convinced me, to be honest.
