The Freedom of Information Acts apply fully to nine public bodies or agencies under the remit of my Department. The Acts will be extended shortly to an additional seven bodies. It is intended that one of these, the Private Residential Tenancies Board, will not be subject to the full remit of the Acts, as matters of dispute resolution and conciliation will be specifically excluded.
