Decisions of the Information Commissioner

The Senior Investigator annulled the IDA’s decision and directed it to conduct a new decision-making process in respect of the applicant’s FOI request

The Senior Investigator affirmed the decision of the DWEC to refuse the request on the ground that it does not hold the records for the purposes of the FOI Act.

The Senior Investigator affirmed CORU’s decision under sections 15(1)(a), 15(1)(i) and 31(1)(a) of the FOI Act

The Senior Investigator found that the decision to refuse access to the records concerned was justified under section 35(1)(b) of the FOI Act. She affirmed GNI's decision accordingly.

The Senior Investigator affirmed the HSE’s decision, under sections 31(1)(a), 36(1)(b) and 37(1) of the FOI Act

The Senior Investigator affirmed the Revenue’s decision. She found that the records, while relating to the Notice, also contained details of positions that the Revenue would take in any settlement negotiations that it might enter into with the applicant (section 30(1)(c)). She also found that, on balance, the public interest was better served by refusing to grant the FOI request concerned.

The Senior Investigator affirmed ComReg’s decision to refuse access to the TETRA information redacted from the two reports under section 32(1)(a)(x) and to refuse access to the redacted PMR information under section 36(1)(b).

The Senior Investigator affirmed the HSE’s decision to refuse access to any further relevant records under section 15(1)(a) of the FOI Act on the ground that no further records exist or can be found.

The Senior Investigator affirmed the Department’s decision. She found that section 29(1) applies, in that the records relate to a deliberative process and that the granting of the request would be contrary to the public interest.

The Senior Investigator varied the Department’s decision. She affirmed its decision on certain records under sections 28, 31(1)(a) and 31(1)(b). She annulled its decision on the remaining records and directed their release.
