- Decision(s) FOI 41: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information in the form of a report prepared about matters within a named primary school in Northern Ireland. The Department of Education Northern Ireland (“the Department”) refused to disclose that information, citing sections 38 and 41 of the FOIA as a basis for non-disclosure. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Department has correctly applied section 41 of the FOIA to the entirety of the requested information, so she did not go on to consider its application of section 38. The Commissioner therefore requires no steps to be taken.
