Issues with Central Bank and Freedom of Information laws

The Central Bank of Ireland is not complying with Freedom of Information (FoI) laws, according to the Information Commissioner.

Peter Tyndall said his office “had great difficulty in dealing with the bank in the extent of our jurisdiction.”

The function of the Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) is to review an FOI decision by a government department or public body, as requested by a member of the public who is left unsatisfied by the result of their FOI request.
