Actually, it is definitely not freedom of information. It is a different way of doing things. The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Howlin, articulated it quite well about a more open style of Government, and I agree with him on that. The last thing one wants is for people to have to go through freedom of information on something where there should be an open process in which people have confidence. It is about how that process is rolled out and who is included as a matter of right in that process.
