I move amendment No. 25:

In page 38, between lines 8 and 9, to insert the following:

“Authority subject to Freedom of Information

34. The Authority shall be subject to section 6 of the Freedom of Information Act 2014.”.

This amendment makes the authority, Údarás Rialála Cearrbhachais na hÉireann, subject to the Freedom of Information Act. We are not sure whether this will automatically happen. The Minister may be able to shed some light on that. It would emphasise the importance of transparency in relation to this new authority that is to be set up, so that if there are difficulties, it can be opened up.
