The argument is that if documents can be released after five years, the Government to which they relate might still be in office. That is no defence. The maximum constitutional term of office for a Government is five years from the date of the formation of that Government and no Government in the history of the State, not even the last Government which ran to within six weeks of its full term of office, has lasted the full 1,825 days. There is, therefore, no basis for saying documents could be revealed while a Government was still in office. Even if Cabinet papers were released within the term of office of a Government, what great fissures, ruptures or earthquakes would be caused by making Cabinet memoranda public while a Government was still in office? There are differences of opinion between Cabinet members, just as there are between people in other organisations.
