Armagh City, Banbridge & Craigavon Borough Council

The complainant has requested information from the Council regarding a concern submitted by an individual about a dog at the complainant’s property.  The Council refused to disclose the requested information, citing sections 30, 40 and 41 of the FOIA as a basis for non-disclosure.  The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council correctly applied section 40 of the FOIA to the requested information.  As that section applies to all of the requested information, the Commissioner did not consider the Council’s application of the other sections of the FOIA.  The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
