Michael Kitt (Galway East, Fianna Fail)

I indicated on Committee Stage on 21 May 2008 that I proposed to include a minor technical amendment to the Third Schedule of the Freedom of Information Act 1997 in the Nuclear Test Ban Bill when the Bill reached Report Stage. Following further advice from the Attorney General, I will not now introduce any amendments to the Freedom of Information Act by way of the Nuclear Test Ban Bill. It is now proposed instead to introduce any amendments to the Third Schedule of the Freedom of Information Act in respect of my Department's legislation in the environmental (miscellaneous provisions) Bill currently being prepared.
