Written answers

The Department of Rural and Community Development was established on 19 July 2017 and from that date to 31 December 2017, it received a total of 14 Freedom of Information requests, during the remaining 5.5 months of 2017.

Of these 14 requests, 5 were withdrawn, and the average time taken to complete the processing of the remaining 9 requests was 18 days. I can confirm that there were no requests that ran beyond the deadline for completion.
