Decisions of the Information Commissioner

The Senior Investigator affirmed the decision of the Department to refuse access to the records remaining within scope under sections 31(1)(a), 37(1), and 42(m)(i) of the Act.

The Senior Investigator varied the decision of TULSA. He found that section 15(1)(a) applied to some parts of the request. He found that section 37 applied to other parts, apart from a small amount information in Parts 6, 12 and 22, and directed it be released, subject to appropriate consent being established to TUSLA's satisfaction. He annulled TUSLA's decision to refuse part 25 of the request under section 15(1)(i) and directed TUSLA to undertake a fresh decision making process on that part.

The Senior Investigator affirmed the decision of the HSE.

The Senior Investigator annulled the Defence Forces' decision and directed it to consider the request afresh.

The Senior Investigator varied the decision of TUSLA. He affirmed TUSLA's decision in relation to most of the records at issue.

The Senior Investigator affirmed the PIAB's decision.

The Senior Investigator varied the decision of TUSLA. While he found that TUSLA was justified in refusing access to the vast majority of information at issue under section 37, he directed the release of a small amount of information from two of the records.
