If someone is the FOI officer or deals with FOI applications for a particular section he or she develops an expertise, almost a jurisprudence, over time. He or she can make decisions more easily and those applying have a better idea also of how their applications are likely to be received, which adds generally to the efficiency of the system. It is important that people know those dealing with their applications have experience. If it is considered necessary to remove the formal notification by way of Iris Oifigiúil, that has to be replaced by some other method by which someone is designated and remains designated for the course of an application. A particular individual, a principal officer or otherwise, should be designated for different types of applications. Iris Oifigiúil may not be the best way to do this but there must be some means by which people are designated.
