The total number of Freedom of Information requests submitted to my Department in the years 2022 and 2023 to date and the total number of requests refused are set out in the table below:
| 2022 | 2023 to date* | |
|---|---|---|
| No. of FOI requests submitted to my Department | 131 | 146 |
| No. of FOI requests refused in their entirety | 40 | 48 |
Refusals were as a result of no records existing, or requests being invalid, pre-dating the legislation, or being subject to an exemption under the FOI Act.
