Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
I realise the Minister of State may have had less time than I to examine the report, even on this section of the Freedom of Information Act 1997. Remembering how he was briefed so quickly on the Industrial Development (Science Foundation Ireland) Bill, I am sure he knows why this change has been suggested. Has there been a problem with people being refused information because something was described as a body corporate and that, because a public body was a body corporate or a corporation sole, it could claim that it was not a person?
