I have two follow-up questions, the first of which is to Mr. Reid. Last August, I made two freedom of information requests for all correspondence relating to Owenacurra between the local senior managers over a defined period of time. Up to November, I had not received a response to those requests and so I applied for an internal review and was informed over the Christmas recess by the FOI decision-maker, Mr. Hugh Scully, that no records could be found. My colleague, Liam Quaid in Cork, submitted a similar freedom of information request and he was informed that those records do exist but release of them will incur a €600 administration fee. I ask Mr. Reid to explain why there might be no email correspondence about such a significant closure between local area managers.
