My Department has no record of receiving a freedom of information request from the person in question. The Department did, however, receive a letter from the person requesting information on their performance at an interview for a teaching position.

My officials spoke with the person concerned and explained that the information would need to be sourced from the chairperson of the interview board — and offered to forward a copy of any request to the chairperson for direct reply to the candidate. The letter was forwarded to the chairperson and I understand that a response will issue to the candidate within the coming days.
