Newspaper viewed blackened out sections by holding documents up to a light source
Last week the Irish Times ran a story on the planned rail projects for Dublin, the story was based on Freedom of Information request made nearly two years ago.
While the request was filed a day after the transport plan ‘Transport 21′ was launched the Irish Times only received some of the documents the week before last, the newspaper says that every figure, particularly cost estimates, were blacked out.
