Details of the FOI requests received by my Department from 1 January 2018 to 6 July 2018 are outlined in the table below.
Appeals on FOI decisions issued by my Department can be made by seeking an Internal Review of the matter. The appeal will involve a complete reconsideration of the matter by a more senior member of staff of the Department and a decision will be communicated within three weeks. My Department received five requests for an Internal Review in the period in question, none of which are outstanding.
An appeal of an Internal Review decision can be applied for by writing to the Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC). To date, my Department has not received notification from the OIC of any external reviews for the period in question.
