Ireland and the Freedom of Information Act : Foi@15 Hardback
Edited by Maura Adshead, Tom Felle
Part of the Irish Society series
Hardback
Description
The introduction of FOI in Ireland was a watershed moment in Irish democracy.
It gave citizens a right to know, and abolished eighty years of official secrecy that had existed since the foundation of the State.
As the new 2014 FOI Act is extended to the gardaà and the Central Bank for the first time, this book critically examines the important contribution the legislation has made to the opening up of Irish democracy and society.
The book includes important contributions from the Ombudsman and Information Commissioner Peter Tyndall, former minister Eithne FitzGerald and RTE journalist Richard Dowling.
It will be a core text for students of politics and public administration, journalism, media and communications and law; and will be an important reference for policy makers and civil and public servants. -- .
