Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 February 2008
339 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he will provide in tabular form the number of freedom of information requests that have been received by his Department each year since 1997; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6942/08]
Amharc ar fhreagraSince 1998 the Annual Report of the Information Commissioner has detailed the number of requests received by Public Bodies and the Deputy will find the information requested in those reports. As the 2007 report is not yet published I can advise that the Department received 77 Freedom of Information requests during 2007 and seven to date, in 2008.
