I propose to take Questions Nos. 79 and 83 together.
I am advised by the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (INIS) of my Department that the decision of the Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) referred to by the Deputy was notified to the Department on 25 January. While it would not be appropriate for me to comment on a ruling of the Information Commissioner the Department will, of course, be complying with the terms of the ruling, in accordance with the time frames as set out in the FOI Act.
