Personal data could lead to FOI change

FINANCE Minister Charlie McCreevy may amend his controversial changes to the Freedom of Information Act (FoI Act) restricting access to personal information.

Mr McCreevy said that if opposition TDs had practical suggestions to make, he would listen to them at committee stage next week.

The child sexual abuse victims representative group, One in Four, say the changes to the bill will prevent their members from accessing all files relating to them.
