I know it never is, but the intention here is that sensitive information cannot be given out. It has already been pointed out that regardless of whether one runs a business or a Government agency, if one has to withhold sensitive information one must not allow that to be covered, so there is a clear line of distinction. Basically, I want to say that one can give information where one can, but where it is sensitive it cannot be given out. I do not think one reads in the local newspapers some of the stuff that people might hear, as the information is quite confidential and sensitive to a board or organisation. This information cannot just be given out. People could not operate in that environment, particularly public bodies such as Coillte.
