The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Michael McGrath TD announced the launch of a public consultation as part of the review of the Freedom of Information Act.
The consultation asks participants to briefly identify key issues with the FOI system as they see it, in order to assist the Department in defining the scope of the review.
The consultation form is available below, and should take no more than five minutes to complete:
For organisations, advocacy or representative groups, or anyone who does not wish to use the web form, submissions will be accepted by post or email.
Anyone interested should contact foireview@per.gov.ie or write the the FOI Central Policy Unit at this Department for further details.
The consultation will be open until 18:00 on the 17th December.
Based on the responses received, the Department will prepare a paper identifying key themes and issues of concern to stakeholders, to be published early in the New Year. At that stage, individuals and organisations will have a further opportunity to make more detailed submissions on the relevant issues.
