Since 1998 the Annual Report of the Information Commissioner has detailed the number of requests received by Public Bodies and the Deputy will find the information requested in those reports. As the 2007 report is not yet published I can advise that the Department received 77 Freedom of Information requests during 2007 and seven to date, in 2008.
