Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I have not received a copy since 1992, but then I was out for a while. According to the requirements of the 1997 Act, the name of the dedicated officer in Roscommon County Council was sent to Iris Oifigiúil. If I wanted to find that, would I have to go through every edition of Iris Oifigiúil from 1998 to 2003? I can simply ring 0903 62100 and ask for the name of the information officer. I can ring the Midland Health Board and get the same information. As a former chairman of the Western Health Board, I know the health boards take this Act very seriously. There is a particular officer designated under the Act who has responsibility to co-ordinate information across all departments and he or she will deliver the information to the requester.

I believe the objection to the deletion of this is somewhat mischievous. The Opposition is trying to labour each point and delay the Bill.
