The complainant requested information in the form of a series of questions about an external recruitment competition held by the Department of Finance (“the DOF”) relating to HR Workstream Lead roles. The DOF cited section 40(2) (personal information) of FOIA to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DOF is entitled to rely on section 40(2) of FOIA to withhold the requested information and has complied with section 1(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
