Decision

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 14 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act) I have decided to refuse your request, as it has been deemed ‘vexatious’. Section 1(1) does not oblige a public authority to comply with a request for information if the request is vexatious, and no public interest test is required.

Reasons for Decision

I have not provided detail in relation to the reasons for this decision, as to do so would release personal information on to a public forum. If you do require this detail, please provide a personal email or correspondence address and I will be happy to send you a fuller response.

Pursuant to Section 17(5) of the Freedom of Information Act this letter acts as a Refusal Notice.
