Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
2:30 pm
Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)
Someone made the point that the commissioner is referring to the existing Act, which is extraordinary because he refers to proposed changes. Surely he means that the Act is to be changed. Maybe I am wrong, but this surely is beyond his remit. An independent commissioner has been established, yet the Opposition is taking his views to be more significant than the Government's.
