Jim O'Keeffe: Question 40: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the procedures employed in his Department in the processing of requests under the Freedom of Information Acts from the date of receipt of a request to the date of supplying the information or declining to supply; if he, his advisers or other persons within his private office have sight of, are notified of or have their...
- Freedom of Information. (1 Jun 2004)
Jim O'Keeffe: The Minister sets out fairly rigorous procedures that are in place to ensure FOI requests are handled with great propriety. However, the central aspect of my question was whether the Minister or his advisers filter information before it is released. I am thinking in particular of a request filed by my party leader, Deputy Kenny, on 11 March seeking the minutes of the Minister's meeting with...
- Freedom of Information. (1 Jun 2004)
Jim O'Keeffe: Does the Minister not accept that it seems to be his policy to politicise requests under the Freedom of Information Act, which clearly was not the intention of the Act? Does he not accept that in this case the furnishing of the information was delayed, deliberately or otherwise and that just before it was released in response to the request it was released apparently deliberately by the...

- Road Safety. (1 Jun 2004)
Jim O'Keeffe: What is the position on fixed speed cameras? I presume the same law will apply to them as applies to hand-held radar detection guns and that operators will be obliged to carry a document which can be shown to an accused person. Who would hand the document over and what procedures will be put in place from that point of view? Have any fixed speed cameras been purchased and employed or are we...

Jim O'Keeffe: At what cost?
- Road Safety. (1 Jun 2004)
Jim O'Keeffe: I am interested in being given a ballpark idea of the kind of money which will be involved. I understand the Garda already has 480 of the hand-held devices known as hairdryers which apparently do not comply with legislation subsequently passed to apply to them. That is a separate issue. If the Minister's colleague, the Minister for Transport, proposes to provide fixed speed cameras, I would...
- Prisons Building Programme. (1 Jun 2004)
Jim O'Keeffe: I take it that the Minister is not flying blind financially. Will he give us some idea of the guidelines he has on costings? Even on a ballpark basis, what value would be placed on the Mountjoy complex in terms of redevelopment? What sort of costings are involved for building the new structure? Size is clearly relevant. How many prison places has the Minister in mind? What sort of ballpark...
