TUV leader Jim Allister has issued a lengthy press statement attacking the lack of transparency and opening of North/South bodies. The cross-border bodies have immunity from the Freedom of Information Act 2000. He claims Code of Practice on Freedom of Information promised when they were established only materialised in 2006 and is "useless."

And he's been met with a "stalling wheeze" from the Department of Finance on information he's seeking on EU peace funding for ex-republican prisoners.

It seems the "stalling wheeze" has lasted for six months.

Those of us who have tried Freedom of Information are familiar with that stalling wheeze!
