The public bodies under the aegis of my Department that are currently exempt from the remit of the freedom of information legislation are Coiste an Asgard and the Civil Defence Board. In October 2005 the Government decided to extend the application of FOI legislation to include Coiste an Asgard and the Civil Defence Board. The Minister for Finance will bring forward the necessary regulations to provide for the extension of FOI to these bodies shortly.
