Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
2:30 pm
Joe O'Toole (Independent)
We established that at the beginning when the Minister of State said he would not accept the definition of a person under the interpretation section of the Bill. Let us suppose the editor of a newspaper says to a journalist: "I want you to get that information for me and the newspaper." The journalist writes seeking the information and it comes to him or her from the Department. However, it has gone to the newspaper. How does that change matters?
