Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 December 2015
639. Deputy Arthur Spring asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he is satisfied with the manner of Sports Ireland's engagement with the Information Commissioner in a case (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44158/15]
View answerThe case mentioned by the Deputy relates to an FOI request made to the then National Sports Campus Development Authority, now Sport Ireland, which is a body under the aegis of my Department. Sport Ireland, and previously the National Sports Campus Development Authority, is a public body for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act and is responsible for the processing of FOI requests relating to the body, including any necessary engagement with the Information Commissioner. I have no role in that process. As the Deputy is aware, the case is the subject of a recent decision by the Information Commissioner. I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct response on this matter. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
