- Requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act must be made in writing to the Department's FOI Unit and should refer to the Act. Applications can also be made electronically to foiunit@enterprise.gov.ie.
- If information is required in a particular form (e.g. photocopy, computer disk, etc.) this should be specified in the application.
- You can use the Department’s FOI Application form to request this information.
- Requests should be as specific as possible to enable the information sought to be identified. Where feasible, please try to indicate the time period for which you wish to access records e.g. records created between May 2013 and December, 2013. Also, it would be helpful if you could specify the areas of the Department which you feel would be most relevant to your request.
- If you have any difficulty in preparing your application the staff of the FOI Unit will be happy to assist you in this regard.
- You may be required to prove your identity, especially when seeking personal information, so you may, therefore, be asked to produce your Birth Certificate, Driving Licence, Passport or other form of identity.
Please include a day time telephone number, if possible, so that you may be contacted quickly if it is necessary to clarify details of your request.
