Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Brendan Howlin)

My Department is carrying out preparatory work to implement the commitments in the programme for Government.

These proposals will include the proposed extension of the provisions of the Freedom of Information Acts to the Property Registration Authority.
