Department for Communities

The complainant requested the projected cost of the Casement Park redevelopment scheme at the time of the request. The Department for Communities refused the request in reliance on the exception at regulation 12(4)(d) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the exception is engaged, but that the public interest in maintaining that exception does not outweigh the public interest in disclosure of the requested information.  The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the requested information to the complainant.
