Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
I am making these points to validate my argument that it is wrong to rush this through at this stage. All the amendments I am now putting to you, Sir, should be considered as part of the Committee Stage with a proper discussion. The Government side may say why something should not be done and we can come to an agreed position. Crucially we should have the Information Commissioner's views on each one of them. While that is not to say he is right and other people are wrong, I ask you, a Chathaoirligh, to include the amendments in the names of Senator Henry and me.
