The fees from Freedom of Information requests received by my Department in 2014 and 2015 were €2,194 and €594 respectively.
In considering these figures it should be noted that the Freedom of Information Act 2014, which came into force on 14 October 2014, introduced a number of changes to the charging system for freedom of information requests, including abolition of the application fee, reduction in the internal review fee and changes to search and retrieval fees.
