123. To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources further to Parliamentary Question No. 313 of 11 March 2014, and a follow-up letter to him personally requesting if he will make the information cited in the parliamentary question available, if he will state definitively if he will release this information or not; and if he is deliberately delaying the release of said information.

The complaint in relation to the National Postcode procurement process was made under the EU pilot scheme which is managed in Ireland by the Department of the Taoiseach. Accordingly, my Department wrote to the Department of the Taoiseach on 19 March seeking the release of information from the European Commission in relation to the complaint. I understand that the request was forwarded to the Commission by the Department of the Taoiseach; as of yet, no response has been received from the Commission. While I have no objection to the release of the information, pending the response of the Commisison, I am not in a postion to do so. I am advised that there are alternative pathways open to citizens who wish to review documents of interest in their personal or business affairs that emanate from the Commission. Information in relation to the submission and processing of such information requests is available on .
