FOI Disclosure Log and other information to be published routinely
In accordance with Section 8 of the Freedom of Information Act, 2014 (‘Publication of information about FOI bodies’), the MHC publishes its FOI Disclosure Log.
This Disclosure Log provides details of certain FOI requests but, in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act, 2018, does not contain personal information.
