The Information Commissioner may conduct reviews of the decisions of public bodies in relation to requests for access to information. In Ireland, the Information Commissioner also holds the position of Ombudsman. The first holder of the office was Kevin Murphy, the Ombudsman. In March 2003, the Government of Ireland nominated Emily O'Reilly to be Information Commissioner (and Ombudsman).
