Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2012: Discussion
1:35 pm
Ms Emily O'Reilly:
Yes, absolutely. The section 32 process would be useful. That it only supposed to be done every five years but it serves a wider purpose than just looking at the section 32 issue. When I looking at some of the proposals in regard to NAMA and the NAMA family of bodies dealing with finances and so on, I think it was a proposal that there would be an ongoing review about how that happens. I think that is specifically to make sure no harm has been done by records. Huge change took place after 2003, some of which we were not always made aware.
