The information requested in the question is as follows:

* By agreement with the requestor this request has been resubmitted, identifying more precisely the records required. While the search and retrieval fees applicable to the revised request have not yet been calculated, it is anticipated that the total will be considerably lower than that which applied to the original request. My Department's policy with respect to charges applied to requests for information under FOI is set out on it's website, www.environ.ie.
