My Department was established on 19 July 2017, since that date a total of €240 in fees has been collected by my Department, in respect of one FOI request.
Where requesters may be subject to fees, my Department is active in assisting requesters to refine their requests where possible to ensure that information can be provided without a fee requirement.
In the context of the Freedom of Information publication scheme a log of all non-personal Freedom of Information requests received by my Department is published on a quarterly basis, these are available online at: www.gov.ie/en/collection/f68256-disclosure-logs/.
