James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise the following urgent matter, namely, the threat to the rights of citizens posed by the charges for requests under the Freedom of Information Act 1997, which constitute a barrier to the access of public information, according to the latest OECD review. That review recommends making all requests under the Act free of charge.
