- Decision(s) EIR 12.5.a: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information from the Department for Communities Northern Ireland (DfC) in relation to the proposed redevelopment of Casement Park. The DfC disclosed some of the requested information to the complainant, however it refused to disclose certain information (‘the withheld information’) citing regulation 12(5(a) of the EIR as a basis for non-disclosure. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DfC has correctly applied the exception as set out in regulation 12(5)(a) to the withheld information. Therefore, the Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
