Other technical measures in the Bill include a new provision clarifying that protection is available for records whose release could endanger the life or health of persons, the removal of the restriction on an appeal to the Supreme Court from a decision of the High Court and an extension of the basis on which a public body is empowered to refuse to confirm or deny the existence of records. The Bill also provides for an extension of the period that the Information Commissioner has to complete a review under section 34 of the Principal Act from three to four months. Experience to date indicates that the three month deadline envisaged by the Act is not achieved in many cases.
