The complainant has requested information relating to a particular aspect of an investigation carried out by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland (CCNI) into Lough Neagh Rescue Service. The CCNI responded by stating that the requested information was either exempt information under section 21 (‘information accessible to the applicant by other means’) of FOIA or was otherwise not held. The complainant has not disputed the application of section 21 of FOIA but has instead argued that the CCNI would hold additional information that had not been identified. The Commissioner’s decision is that on the balance of probabilities the CCNI does not hold further information and therefore he does not require any steps to be taken as a result of this notice

FOI 1: Not upheld FOI 21: Not upheld
