Question:

132 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Finance when proposals for the further extension of bodies covered by the freedom of information legislation will be finalised within his Department; if the extension of the freedom of information legislation will cover the Higher Education Training Awards Council; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18775/05]

Written answers

Minister for Finance (Mr. Cowen)

I expect that consideration of the public bodies to be brought under the aegis of freedom of information legislation in 2005 will be finalised in the coming weeks. Pending publication of the details of the extension, I do not propose to make any further statements about individual bodies in this regard.
