Summary: The complainant requested information from the Department of Education for Northern Ireland (the Department) relating to the financial situation of the South Eastern Education and Library Board. The Department provided some of the information to the complainant, withholding other information in reliance on the exemption under section 22 of the Act (intended for future publication). The Commissioner-™s decision is that the withheld information, consisting of a KPMG report dated 28 February 2006, was exempt but should nevertheless have been disclosed in the public interest, and he has therefore ordered the Department to release this information to the complainant.
