Vol. 530 No. 4

Written Answers. - Freedom of Information Legislation.

Jan O'Sullivan

Question:

122 Ms O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Finance the bodies, apart from Departments, local authorities and health boards, which are now covered under the Freedom of Information Act, 1997; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4069/01]

I enclose for the Deputy's information a list of all of the public bodies currently subject to the Freedom of Information Act, 1997. I intend that regulations extending the remit of the Freedom of Information Act to a range of State bodies will be laid before the Oireachtas in draft form very shortly, with a view to extending the Act to these bodies within a matter of weeks. The Government will continue the programme of extensions of the Act thereafter, focusing on the third level education sector in the autumn. Consultations are also under way with a view to identifying further bodies to which the Act should be extended.
