Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 762 and 763 together.
A Freedom of Information request was received by my Department , which was originally refused under the Act. This refusal was subsequently appealed by the requestor under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.
Following an internal review by my Department, I understand that the appeal has been upheld and a decision taken to grant the freedom of information request and to publish the relevant documents.
