I wish to inform the Deputy that from 1 January 2018 up to and including 31 May 2018, my Department has received 372 Freedom of Information Requests.

To date in 2018 no costs have been applied to any FOI request dealt with by my Department.

Please see the following table below for the breakdown sought.

FOI Requests ReceivedPart-granted/GrantedRefusedAppealed
3721877827

As the Deputy will be aware, because of the timeframe for processing requests under the FOI Act 2014, there will always be a number of live cases on hand yet to be finalised.
