- Decision(s) FOI 30: Partly upheld
The complainant has requested HSE to disclose information relating to the contravention notices a named Inspector has issued for the year ending 31 December 2022. HSE disclosed some information, confirmed one element is not held and refused to disclose the remainder citing section 30(1)(b) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that HSE is entitled to rely on section 30(1)(b) of FOIA for question nine of the request. However, he does not consider section 30(1)(b) applies to questions two, three, four and five of the request. The Commissioner requires HSE to disclose the requested information for questions two, three, four and five of the complainant’s request.
