*The application fee for Freedom of Information requests was introduced on the 1st July 2003.
It has not been possible in the time available to compile a breakdown of the number of requests where search and retrieval fees were paid in respect of each of the years 2002 to 2011. The information will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
