FOI Publication Scheme
Section 8 of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act 2014 requires FOI bodies (including UCC) to prepare and publish as much information as possible in an open and accessible manner on a routine basis outside of FOI, having regard to the principles of openness, transparency and accountability as set out in Sections 8(5) and 11(3) of the Act. This allows for the publication or giving of records outside of FOI provided that such publication or giving of access is not prohibited by law.
