Section of the Act.: s.37

Case Number: 160268
Public Body: Wicklow County Council
Section of the Act.: s.15, s.15(1)(c),
Summary: The Senior Investigator upheld the Services' decision. She found section 37 (7) of the FOI Act to apply to the records at issue, which contain third party personal information that is inextricably linked to the personal information of the applicants and/or their son (joint personal information). She found that the public interest that the rights to privacy of the third parties to whom the information relates should be upheld outweighs the public interest that the request be granted.

Summary: The Senior Investigator affirmed the decision of the Department to refuse access to the records requested.

Section of the Act.: s.15, s.15(1)(a),
Summary: The Senior Investigator affirmed the decision of the Council to refuse access to the records on the basis of section 15(1)(a) of the FOI Act.

Case Number: 160106
Public Body: Wicklow County Council
Section of the Act.: s.15, s.15(1)(a),
Summary: The Senior Investigator varied the Department's decision. She did not consider it to have justified its reliance on sections 15(1)(d), 29, 35 and 42(j) of the FOI Act. She affirmed the Department's refusal of access to some of the withheld records/parts of records under section 37 on the basis that they contain personal information about persons other than the applicant and/or her son, or the joint personal information of the applicant and/or her son and other parties. She found that the public interest that the rights of privacy of the third parties concerned should be upheld outweighs the public interest that the information be released. She directed the release of the remaining details.

Section of the Act.: s.29, s.35, s.37, s.42

She found that the public interest, including the public interest in the confidentiality of personal information, would, on balance, be better served by refusing than granting the request.
