UCC instructed to provide details of support received from Apple

University College Cork has been instructed by the information commissioner to provide details of support it has received from Apple.

The Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) has ruled that the response of the university was inadequate to a request made under freedom of information legislation and ordered it to reconsider the request for such information.

A transparency organisation, Right to Know, sought details of all contributions which UCC had received either directly or indirectly from Apple to research projects since January 2011 under the Freedom of Information Act.
