Council defends Sky Garden FoI refusal

CORK’S city manager has defended the withholding of information about Diarmuid Gavin’s controversial Sky Garden project which is funded by the taxpayer.

Tim Lucey last night described as “commercially sensitive” the information City Hall has refused to release to the Irish Examiner under Freedom of Information (FoI) legislation.

The Irish Examiner lodged its FoI request in June, which was refused. An appeal was turned down this month.
