Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).
2:30 pm
Joe O'Toole (Independent)
As I said on the Order of Business today, this legislation is Sir Humphrey's revenge. By any standards – and I take a balanced view in regard to the legislation – the Freedom of Information Act was in need of amendment but this was precisely the way not to do it. This Bill is a mistake and we will rue the day that it is passed.
