Freedom of Information Requests.
10:30 am
Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)
I have asked my next question before. In 2005, the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Finance and the Public Service met with representatives of the Information Commissioner and assessed the impact of fees on the Freedom of Information Act. The committee wrote to the Taoiseach when he was Minister for Finance to have the matter addressed by way of legislation at the first available opportunity as it considered, as a representative of the people here, that the fees were excessive. Nothing has happened since. Does the Taoiseach consider that the fees applied are excessive? Is he willing to change them?
