MINISTER HOWLIN RUSHES THROUGH NEW LEGISLATION
Irish Water will officially become subject to Freedom of Information law from today.
A special procedure is being rushed through the Dáil so the new utility will be subject to Freedom of Information requests, without the need for a full change in the law.
The rules, being proposed by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Brendan Howlin will be retrospective, and take effect from last July.
