Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The documentation sought includes communications with third parties and also considerable personal information.

The individual referred to in the letter dated 2nd November 2011 has sought and received the information from my Department in this regard.

For the reasons outlined above it would not be appropriate to accede to the Deputy’s request for information.

Question No. 172 answered with Question No. 163.
