Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Committee Stage.

 

I would like to hear a response to the point made earlier. If a record is not kept here, there should be a record somewhere of who is responsible for each section. The same applies to every Department, not just the Taoiseach's. In the Department of Education and Science various officers deal with primary and post-primary schools or whatever. That would also be the case in a Department like the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment where there are three obvious divisions. It is important that there are officers charged with responsibility for this area on which they will build practical experience as well as jurisprudence. There would then be officers recognisable in the role.
