If you are not satisfied with the decision of the FOI Officer or if you do not receive a reply within 4 weeks of the receipt of your request, you may ask for that decision to be reviewed at a higher level in the Department. An upfront fee of €75 (€25 for medical card holders) will apply if you make an application for a review of a decision on a request for nonpersonal records.

If you are still not satisfied with the decision of the Reviewing Officer or you do not receive a reply within 3 weeks of the date of receipt of the review request, you have the right to appeal to the Information Commissioner, whose decision is final and conclusive. An upfront fee of €150 (€50 for medical card holders) will apply if you make an application to the Information Commissioner for a review of a decision on a request for non-personal records.
