Report

In the light of the hearings held by the Joint Committee on Finance and the Public Service to date on the Report by the High Level Review Group to the Government on the Freedom of Information Act, 1997 and related matters, the Joint Committee strongly recommends, as a matter of urgency, that sufficient time be allowed for further limited hearings to be held, as important areas have been identified in the legislation which the Joint Committee agrees will need further significant amendment.

Seán Fleming, T.D.,

Chairman of the Joint Committee on Finance and the Public Service.
