Peter Mathews (Dublin South, Independent) | Oireachtas source

First of all, I want to wish you a happy new year, a Cheann Comhairle, and the same to all my colleagues.

As regards the Taoiseach's remarks and observations about freedom of information, there are three very important institutions in this country at the moment that would benefit from the approach of his democratic revolution. They are the Central Bank of Ireland, NAMA and IBRC in liquidation. I ask the Taoiseach to consider holding a debate in this House on the imperative that those institutions would come under the Freedom of Information Act.
