Delay in FOI garden request

CITY officials in Cork have asked for more time to provide documents relating to Diarmuid Gavin’s controversial Sky Garden, which are being sought under Freedom of Information (FOI) legislation.

They have asked for a maximum of four more weeks to compile the information that is being sought by the Irish Examiner.

A city official said the extension was needed because the request relates to such a number of records that compliance, with the standard four week time period, was not reasonably possible.
