My Department has received 125 FOI requests to date in 2015, of which 59 have been answered within the statutory deadline. Of the remainder, 22 recent requests are still open, 25 were answered later than the 4 week period, 2 were transferred to other FOI bodies, 11 were withdrawn and 6 were closed following failures of requestors to respond to correspondence from the Department.
