Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I put a question to the Department of Health under the freedom of information legislation and got back the redacted document I have to hand. This is not a way in which to go about business, which in this case pertains to the crisis regarding junior doctors. The Taoiseach also promised to extend the remit to the administrative side of An Garda Síochána. Does the Government intend to review the operation of the Freedom of Information Act or is a review planned?

I bring the Taoiseach's attention back to the document I have to hand, especially because he has just stated that Deputies should be able to get information. This document I have to hand refers to how the italicised and bolded material should not be released and is exempt under sections 20(1) and 21(1)(c) of the Freedom of Information Act and then repeats that.
