The complainants have requested from the Council for Catholic Maintained Schools (CCMS) information consisting of correspondence between the CCMS’s Corporate Information and Communications Officer and various third parties. CCMS provided a partial response to the complainants.
The Commissioner’s decision is that CCMS has breached section 10 of the FOIA by failing to provide a response to parts 1 to 4 of the request, within the required timeframe; and section 1 by failing to provide a response to part 5 of the request.
The Commissioner requires CCMS to provide a response to the complainants in relation to part 5 of their information request.
CCMS must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
