Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 November 2009
140 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Finance if he will revise the remit of the Freedom of Information Acts 1997 and 2003 to cover the vocational education committees; the reason behind their omission since 1997; when regulations will be introduced; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerWork is well advanced in my Department on provision for the extension of Freedom of Information requirements to a range of public service organisations including Vocational Education Committees. The remaining practical issues are currently being pursued and once these are finalised I expect that I will be able to put final proposals to Government regarding the extension of the Act in 2010.
