State investment agency launches action against Information Commissioner over FOI decision
In its decision, the IDA argued that releasing the information could affect negotiations with other landowners, and said it was actively pursuing acquisition opportunities in key locations where existing land banks had diminished due to FDI. The locations involved were “highly confidential and sensitive”.
Mr Foxe appealed the case to the Office of the Information Commissioner, which ruled that some of the records should be released. In the decision Stephen Rafferty, a senior investigator in the office, said he did not accept the IDA’s argument that third parties would be reluctant, or might refuse, to negotiate with the agency in relation to the acquisition of land if some details were released after sales.
A spokesperson for the Information Commissioner said it had yet to review the legal papers, and the case was not listed for mention in the High Court until October 9th. A spokesperson for IDA Ireland said: “As there are legal proceedings ongoing, IDA Ireland isn’t in a position at this time to provide any comment.”
