My case was not based on that. I do not disagree with the points made about Iris Oifigiúil, but the reason this was included in the first instance was so that it would not be dealt with in an arbitrary manner – changed from month to month or application to application. In addition, there should be a record of who is doing what. I agree with the points about Iris Oifigiúil. The information should be in an easily accessible place, even on the Department's website, as long as we know its location. Would the Minister accept an amendment on Report Stage that would provide simply for the publication of the information?
