Bhí éifeacht leis an Acht an 11 Aibreán 2003 agus ón dáta sin.
Tá tionchar éigin ag an Acht um Shaoráil Faisnéise ar go leor gnéithe de shaol na hOllscoile. Chun a chinntiú go gcomhlíonfaidh an Ollscoil a cuid dualgas faoin Acht, bunaíodh Oifig um Shaoráil Faisnéise. Tá an Oifig freagrach as cuidiú le mic léinn, leis an bhfoireann agus leis an bpobal a gcearta a chleachtadh faoin Acht um Shaoráil Faisnéise freisin.
