No. There are certain regulations that prevent re-use, where:
- The content is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, 2000
- The document falls outside of the Council’s statutory functions
- The document contains information in which intellectual property rights are owned by a third party. An example of this would be architectural drawings which have been commissioned by an architect who retains copyright
- The document does not exist
If your request for re-use is refused, we will advise you in writing of the:
- Reasons for refusal
- Your rights to an internal review and appeal
- The necessary time limits of reviews and appeals
Where refusal is due to intellectual property rights being owned by a third party, we will confirm, if we know, who owns the intellectual property rights and, provide you with their names and contact details.
