Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

When I asked the Taoiseach about this matter on 21 October 2008, I note the record states that the Information Commission had recently made a decision that documents relating to the Cabinet's consideration of Ireland's greenhouse gas emissions should be released. The Freedom of Information Commissioner considered that European Union access to information rules and regulations, including access to environmental information, required that it should be released. The Taoiseach told me at the time that following consultation with the Attorney General's office it had been decided that an appeal should be taken in that case. If he does not know the answer to that question now, I am sure he will communicate it to me in due course.
