This second edition gives you a clear and comprehensive explanation and analysis of the Freedom of Information Act. The first edition has been widely used by lawyers and public servants. The book examines the background to the development of freedom of information legislation both in Ireland and internationally and explores its interaction with other legislation relating to access to government information. The main focus of the book is upon the substance of the Act itself.
It has been extensively re-written to include an explanation of the amendments to the Act introduced in 2003 together with detailed analysis of the decisions of the Information Commissioner and of the courts. It will prove an invaluable asset to those interested in tracing the operation of the Irish FOI Act since its entry into force in 1998.
