621. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will outline in tabular form for each year from 2009 to date in 2014 the total number of FOI requests received by her Department; the total refused; total granted; total part-granted; total appealed; total of successful appeals; total of part-successful appeals; total of refusals; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The information sought by the Deputy is set out in the following table.
Year | Number received | Number Granted | Number Part Granted | Number refused | Number Appealed | Number Granted or Decision set aside | Number Part Granted | Number of Appeals Refused |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2009 | 844 | 214 | 187 | 123 | 61 | 9 | 18 | 24 |
2010 | 598 | 170 | 174 | 149 | 78 | 11 | 21 | 40 |
2011 | 597 | 116 | 263 | 117 | 67 | 11 | 17 | 37 |
2012 | 594 | 184 | 226 | 142 | 60 | 9 | 13 | 38 |
2103 | 550 | 176 | 233 | 116 | 84 | 7 | 21 | 52 |
2014* | 281 | 66 | 105 | 76 | 32 | 2 | 7 | 14 |
*Figures are up to end of June 2014. This figure also includes the number of requests which are ongoing.
I wish to point out to the Deputy that the figure for the number of Freedom of Information requests received each year also includes number of requests which were transferred, withdrawn and/or handled outside the Act. It is for this reason that the figures referring to the overall number of requests received, do not equate to the figures granted/part granted/refuse for each year.
