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

 

We must remember that this section will greatly affect Members of the Oireachtas, a large number of whom may have to make repeated requests for information. We will not be able to get that information either. I am not just asking about this on behalf of citizens. I want to know if Members of the Oireachtas will be able to get information that we know exists somewhere, even if our initial request is not as close to the mark as whoever is giving the information believes it should be or that it does not contain, for example, something relevant to a particular person. How many requests does one have to make before one is considered to be a repeat requester?
