Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 March 2012
106 Deputy Simon Harris asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he intends to amend legislation to ensure the National Asset Management Agency is subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act; if so, when he intends to ensure that this happens; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12074/12]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware that the Programme for Government contains a commitment to extend Freedom of Information to ensure that all statutory bodies and all bodies significantly funded by the Exchequer are covered by the legislation. The next steps in implementing this commitment will be consultation with Ministers in the coming weeks, in the context of finalising proposals for consideration by Government relating to both the restoration and the extension of Freedom of Information as set out in the Programme for Government.
