The Commissioner found that the document was not held by or for the Council when it received the AIE request. Accordingly, he affirmed the Councils refusal to provide access to the document for that reason.
Right to Know CLG & the Department of the Taoiseach
The Commissioner found that most of the requested environmental information was made available to the appellant. He was satisfied that the remaining information formed part of the internal communications of the Cabinet and thus fell within the article 9(2)(d) exception. He found that the public interest in the disclosure of this information did not outweigh the interest served by protecting the confidentiality of those communications. He therefore affirmed the Departments decision and did not require it to take any action.
