Freedom of Information

The Freedom of Information (FOI) Acts apply to the Competition Authority. The FOI Acts establish three statutory rights:

A right for each person to access information held by public bodies;
A right for each person to have official information relating to himself or herself amended where it is incomplete, incorrect or misleading; and,
A right to obtain reasons for decisions affecting oneself.

The FOI Acts allow public access to official information held by the Authority, which is not routinely available through other sources, while also acknowledging the public interest and the right to privacy of individuals. Access to information under the FOI Acts is subject to certain exemptions and involves specific procedures and time limits.

Before considering an FOI request, please first refer to our FOI Manual. All FOI applications, or requests for further information on the FOI procedures, should be addressed to:

Ciarán Quigley,
Secretary,
The Competition Authority,
Parnell House 14,
