Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Will the Minister outline the legislative timeline for the establishment of the strategic investment bank and for the legislation on the promised amendment to the Official Secrets Act?

Despite the Tánaiste and the Taoiseach giving a clear commitment that all of the documentation in respect of the selection of primary care centres would be made available to the House and despite the fact that I have tabled freedom of information requests, I have not yet received the documentation. It has been weeks. When will the reform of the Freedom of Information Act be before the House? We would like to amend aspects of the Act to ensure that it cannot be used as a shield by the Government to prevent information from reaching Deputies quickly and effectively. We have been waiting six months to get vital information on significant policy decisions of the Government.
