Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
In these and other ways FOI has served to improve public administration and heighten public confidence in the institutions of State. By significantly extending FOI and introducing a range of other measures such as the Standards in Public Office Act, the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Bill and the Local Government Act, which established a comprehensive ethics framework for local authority members and officials, the Government has shown it is firmly committed to the maintenance of standards and improved accountability in public life.
