The complainant has requested information from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) relating to a duplicate Single Farm Payment made against land owned by the complainant. DARD refused to disclose the requested information, stating that it was exempt from disclosure under regulations 12(3) and 13(1) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR) (personal data of third parties). The Commissioner’s decision is that DARD has correctly applied regulations 12(3) and 13(1) of the EIR to the requested information. The Commissioner therefore orders no steps to be taken.
