I have to inform the Deputy that I am not responsible for the Freedom of Information Acts. I have, however, been informed by my colleague the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Mr. Brendan Howlin T.D., that his Department is currently carrying out preparatory work to implement the commitments in the Programme for Government in relation to the Freedom of Information Acts. When this work is completed, Minister Howlin will bring forward proposals to the Government.
