Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Report and Final Stages.
There should have been further consultation, however, after the Department of Finance, which is the sponsoring Department, received the group's report. The Department might have come to the same conclusion as a result of further consideration of the matter, but one would have thought that the users' group would have been consulted. I certainly thought there would have been a requirement to consult the Office of the Information Commissioner. These issues were matters of concern.
