EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations provide for the correction of a typographical error with regard to the number and year of an enactment listed in the Third Schedule to the Freedom of Information Act, 1997 (No. 13 of 1997). They also provide for addition of a reference to the Access to Information on the Environment Regulations, 1998, and of a reference to the Health Services Regulations, 1971, to that Schedule.
