Access to information held by central or local government
departments and semi-state bodies is a fundamental right in any
democracy. Transparency in the way we are governed - and how public
money is spent - should be a basic tenet in any political system.
Unfortunately, that principal has not always been upheld in
Ireland. Written in clear and understandable language, "Secrets of
the State...and How to Get Them" is a practical guide for anyone
who wants to get information held by local authorities, government
departments or other state bodies, here or overseas. It takes
readers step-by-step through the process of submitting requests
under the Freedom of Information Act and the lesser known Accessing
Information on the Environment regulations. Written by one of the
country's leading experts on Freedom of Information, RTE
Correspondent Richard Dowling, this is the definitive guide on
accessing State-held information. It offers non-legalistic
interpretation of these laws and how to use them. There is no book
like this on the Irish market. Every year around 15,000 FOI
requests are submitted, though not all are successful for a variety
of reasons. In this book, Richard Dowling shows the reader the
correct procedure for submitting a request so that many more people
will be able to access information they're entitled to, and in so
doing help to lift the shroud of secrecy that is still ever present
in the Irish civil service. "Secrets of the State...and How to Get
Them" will be invaluable for environmental organisations, community
groups, political activists and grass roots campaigners, as well as
for businesses and individuals of all kinds who want access to
State-held information.
