Freedom of Information.
2:30 pm
Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)
I propose to take Questions Nos. 1 to 4, inclusive, together.
The following table sets out the information requested by the Deputies regarding freedom of information requests received by my Department. All such requests are processed by statutorily designated officials in accordance with the Freedom of Information Acts 1997 and 2003. Under those Acts, I have no role in regard to the processing of individual applications.
