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

 

If there is a need to review the freedom of information legislation – this would not be inappropriate – it should be done in a considered fashion. What is being done here is the opposite. The Bill was mentioned on Wednesday or Thursday and published on Friday when we had all gone or were on the way home. Its first public ventilation was by the Minister of State on radio on Friday last as he struggled to make a good case for a Bill which is not good.
