Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).
Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats appear to want to go back to old-style politics and that is the motivation behind the legislation. They are in Government for a second term and, as other speakers have said, are taking their position for granted. They are also taking the people for granted, particularly those who voted them into power. For all the Progressive Democrats have done to protect the public interest in regard to the Bill before us, there might as well be one-party Government.
