Limerick TD has FOI about FOIs refused

A Fianna Fáil TD has said it is “bizarre” that politicians are denied access to the identities of members of the public who submit Freedom of Information requests on their expenses.

Limerick TD Niall Collins was refused an FOI request by the Houses of the Oireachtas after he had asked for the identity of a member of the public who had submitted their own FOI on deputies’ expenses.
