My Department received 258 Freedom of Information (FOI) in 2011 and there were 17 cases where a search and retrieval fee was paid. The highest fee paid in 2012 was €83.80.

Unfortunately, we do not currently hold the other information sought by the Deputy in a format which can readily answer the queries, but we are currently in the process of capturing this information so that it can be provided in future.
