Readers who are interested in more information about the new Freedom of Information Act may want to take a look at a Website* on the subject, set up by the specialist information consultants, Policy Watch, based at 13 Clyde Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4. "The Act applies to all Government departments and most public bodies," says Mr Mark Henry, Policy Watch managing director. "As such, anyone refused permission for any form of income support from the Department of Social, Community and Family Affairs now also has a right to apply to see their files and all correspondence about their case. Each department has published a guide showing the types of information available and this can be requested free of charge from the department itself or consulted in most local libraries."Policy Watch provides Freedom of Information consultancy services to corporate clients and its Website gives general information about the Act, and more importantly, how to apply to see any information about yourself that may be kept on file. * http://indigo.ie/ pwatchSuggestions welcome Family Money welcomes suggestions from readers on topics of personal finance they would like to see highlighted.
