Saoráil Faisnéise (SF)

Tá an SF seo tiomsaithe i gcomhréir leis na hAchtanna um Shaoráil Faisnéise 1997, arna leasú ag an Acht um Shaoráil Faisnéise 2003. Tagraíonn gach tagairt sa lámhleabhar seo don Acht nó do na hAchtanna um Shaoráil Faisnéise don Acht 1997 arna leasú ag Acht 2003.

Cúlra
Bunaíonn na hAchtanna um Shaoráil Faisnéise, a tháinig i bhfeidhm ón 21 Aibreán 1998, trí cheart reachtúla nua:

• ceart dlíthiúil ag gach duine rochtain a fháil ar fhaisnéis atá i seilbh comhlachtaí poiblí;
• ceart dlíthiúil ag gach duine faisnéis oifigiúil a bhaineann leis/léi féin a leasú i gcás ina bhfuil sí neamhiomlán, mícheart nó míthreorach; agus
• ceart dlíthiúil chun cúiseanna a fháil le cinntí a mbíonn tionchar acu air féin.

Dearbhaíonn na hAchtanna ceart bhaill den phobal rochtain a fháil ar fhaisnéis oifigiúil a mhéid agus is féidir i gcomhréir le leas an phobail agus le cearta príobháideachta daoine aonair.

‘appropriate information in relation to the manner or intended manner of administration of any such enactment or scheme.’
