Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2012: Discussion
10:45 am
Ms Emma O'Kelly:
In my experience, one is told in the FOI response one does not get anything in the public domain that comes into the FOI request. For example, if one looks for all documents related to X and if there happen to be documents in the public domain, one will get a list. Item 75 on the list might be the report concerned but if it is in the public domain, one does not get it.
