1999 No.10989P

BETWEEN

THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND SCIENCE

PLAINTIFF

AND

TIMES NEWSPAPERS LIMITED, TRIBUNE NEWSPAPERS PLC, CONOR KEANE AND THE KERRYMAN LIMITED

DEFENDANTS

JUDGMENT of Mr. Justice Aindrias Ó Caoimh delivered the 31st day of July 2001.

1. In light of the judgment which I have delivered today in the case between The Minister for Education and Science and the Information Commissioner, I am satisfied that the issues which arise in these proceedings have been determined in those other proceedings. In these proceedings the Minister sought declarations in relation to the provisions of Section 53 of the Education Act of 1998 and its relationship to the provision of the Freedom of Information Act of 1997. In light of my ruling in the case of The Minister for Education and Science -v- The Information Commissioner I do not consider it necessary for me to make any order in these proceedings.
