You can search for decisions here. The FOI Act 2014 replaced the FOI Acts 1997 and 2003. The filters on the left allow you to find decisions based on whether they are pre 2014 or post 2014. Please note that the sections of the 2014 Act do not necessarily correspond to the sections of the old Acts.

Mr M and Health Service Executive

The Senior Investigator annulled the HSE's decision. She found that it was not justified in refusing access to the records and directed it to release them, subject to the redaction of certain information out of scope of the review. She directed the HSE to undertake proper searches for the records sought and to make a fresh decision on any records it found in accordance with the provisions of the FOI Act. She also directed the HSE to make a fresh decision on certain information which it had claimed was in the public domain.
