Freedom of Information Bill 2013: Committee Stage
11:55 am
Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour) | Oireachtas source
Not very much. That is a fair representation of the position. It is my intention, as soon as the Bill is enacted which I hope will happen very shortly, to have the widest possible trawl of any body which receives State funding, conducts public business and should properly be amenable to FOI legislation. This is something which will be formally reviewed by the Oireachtas from now on. If there is any lacuna in the listings, it can be brought to my attention and that of the Committee on Public Oversight and Expenditure.
