10.05.2010 Mr. Pat Swords & RTÉ, Decision No. CEI/09/0015

The Commissioner found that RTÉ was justified in its decision to refuse the request on the basis that it did not hold environmental information within the scope of the request. She varied the decision to reflect her findings. She found that RTÉ comes within the definition of ''public authority'' in the Regulations and the Directive. She found that items 2 and 3 of the request did not come within the definition of environmental information. She further found that section 7(5) of the Regulations allows RTÉ to refuse a request in relation to items 1 and 4 of the request on the basis that the information is not held by it. RTÉ has since clarified that it has accepted since the coming into force of the Regulations that it is a public authority for the purposes of the Regulations and the Directive.
