Senator Ulick Burke mentioned the FOI Act. I make no apology for saying that the Freedom of Information Act originally in place had gone too far in the wrong direction and needed to be corrected. In matters governmental, transparency is not necessarily a good thing. I know that remark will probably attract some obloquy in the fullness of time, but there must be privacy. It must be the case that if a Minister for Finance is proposing something with which I radically disagree, I am entitled not merely to say so orally at a Cabinet meeting, but to send him a memorandum strongly opposing his suggestion. That applies right through my Department. If I ask my civil servants in the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform to prepare a position to oppose some proposition coming from another Minister, that entire process should take place privately. If it does not, then either the comment or analysis is neutered because it will be in the media within a couple of weeks, or else the response is confined to yellow Post-Its or to paper which is shredded, or written on the backs of envelopes. That is completely unacceptable.
