Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).

 

The 1997 Act created a public interest over-ride in order to guard against wrongdoing by public bodies and Government. That is the reason the Government does not like the legislation and Fianna Fáil, in particular, does not like it. It now seems that the Progressive Democrats do not like it either. They do not want anybody, be it the media, the public or the Opposition, to question their decisions.
