Access to information on the environment is important to enable members of the public to know and understand what is happening in the environment around them. It also assists the public to participate in environmental decision making in an informed manner.
Environmental information held by the Irish Aviation Authority may be provided to any person who requests it from under the AIE Regulations.
How to Submit a Request?
When submitting a request for information under the Access to Information on the Environment Regulations, you should:
• Clearly state how you would like to access the information, specifying the preferred form and manner.
Requests can be sent by post or email to the addresses below:
Dublin 2. D02 T449
When to Expect a Response?
The IAA will respond to you within one month from the date of receiving your request.
Fees
Type of activity | Standard fee |
| Search and Retrieval of records | € 20 per hour |
| Photocopying documents | 4 cents per page |
| Information sent via email | Free of charge |
When the anticipated cost of providing environmental information is expected to exceed €100, a minimum deposit of 20% of the total amount will be required. In these instances, the IAA will notify the requester in writing regarding this requirement and will be provided with an opportunity to review or amend the request.
Fees may be waived in certain circumstances.
Internal Review
You may request an internal review of a decision by the interval reviewer. You should make your request within one month of receipt of notification of the decision. Request for interval review should be submitted to: aei@iaa.ie
The internal reviewer will inform you of the result of the review within one month.
Appeal Procedure
If you are unsatisfied with the decision following the interval review process, you may appeal the matter by submitting a written request to Commissioner for Environmental Information at the following address:
Email: applications@oic.ie
Post: The Office of the Information Commissioner
6 Earlsfort Terrace
Dublin 2
D02W773
The AIE regulations stipulate a fee of €50 for appealing to the Commissioner for Environmental Information. However, a reduced fee of €15 is available for medical card holders and their dependants.
A reduced appeal fee will also apply for people, not party to the original request for access to information, to appeal a decision to release information which they believe will affect them.
