The State, semi-State, State-sponsored and statutory bodies under the aegis of my Department that are not subject to the Freedom of Information Acts are the Veterinary Council and Coillte Teoranta. The extension of the FOI Acts to the above bodies is being considered in the context of proposals being developed in the Department of Finance to extend the coverage of the FOI Acts by the end of 2005.
