The following charges apply in relation to requests for records made under the FOI Act:

Application Fees

There is no application fee if your request is for personal information only. If your request is for a record containing non-personal information, an application fee of €15 (€10 if you are a medical card holder) must accompany your request.

Search and Retrieval and Copying Fees

Fees may also be applied in respect of the time spent searching and retrieving records that are released to you and in respect of copying of such records. These fees are unlikely to arise if your request is for personal information

A charge applies to most internal and independent reviews (Information Commissioner) concerning access to non-personal records. There are reductions for medical card holders. This will be notified to you at the appropriate time by the relevant public body.
