- Decision(s) EIR 11: Upheld, EIR 5: Upheld
The complainant requested documents submitted by a company in connection with its request to carry out exploratory drilling at Woodburn Forest, Carrickfergus. The Department failed to provide the complainant with all the relevant information it held until the Commissioner intervened. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Department failed to comply with regulations 5(1) and 5(2), 11(3) and 11(4) of the EIR. As the Department has now complied with the request no further steps are required.Â
