Freedom of information
What is a FOI Publication Scheme?
The
North South Implementation Bodies and Tourism Ireland Ltd operate
under the Freedom of Information Code of Practice (the Code), which came
into effect on 1st February, 2006. The primary objective of the Code is
to facilitate access by members of the public to information held by
the North/South Implementation Bodies. Under Section 6 of the Code,
Publications, Waterways Ireland has a duty to adopt and maintain a
Publication Scheme for the publication of Waterways Ireland's
information.
Waterways
Ireland's Publication Scheme provides guidance to the public on what
information is routinely available within the organisation and how to
obtain it. Some of the information may be formally published either as
printed documents or via the Waterways Ireland website; other
information may be accessible upon request. This scheme will indicate
how to obtain the information in each case and whether there is a charge
for such information. It is expected that over time the amount of
information available will increase and that additional classes of
information will be added.
This Publication Scheme will be available both in hard copy
and on the Waterways Ireland website and can be made available in
alternative formats as appropriate. Click here to download it.
Rights of Access to Information
The
Freedom of Information Code of Practice places an obligation on
Waterways Ireland to respond to requests for information it receives
within given timescales. Unless otherwise specified, the version of any
document released will be the most recently approved by Waterways
Ireland. The rights to request and access information are subject to
certain exemptions set out in the Code, which Waterways Ireland will
take into consideration before deciding what information can be
released.
In
addition requests for information can be made under Data Protection
legislation and under Environmental Information Regulations a short
summary of both of these routes for information requests is set out at
Appendix 3.
