Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
2:30 pm
Joe O'Toole (Independent)
That is not the import of it. The import is that it does not matter which one of them asks for the information. Whoever asks for it can receive it. It is written down that a person should be construed to be a body corporate. That is all is says; it says nothing else and it is that simple. If somebody writes in from a newspaper they can be dealt with as a person. It depends on who signs their name on the request and on what basis they sign it. There are no legal difficulties there.
