Freedom of Information-knowers!

Is there an appeals process regarding fees? Or any other way to challenge them?

One Council is citing 19 hours of search and retrieval, amounting to €308 in fees.

Obviously, this is b.s., as a phone call to the relevant manager will clarify what and where relevant records can be found.

(Unless conceding to far-right agitators is a regular occurrence for that local authority.)

I finally got around to emailing the OCO and IHREC about this. I felt strongly that restricting access by young people to books needed to be raised with them.

I have, naturally, submitted an FOI Request to each of the 30 local authorities in the country.

"GCN conducted a library catalogue search for children’s and YA LGBTQ+ themed books in Ireland and found that several titles written for young adult audiences have been re-classified as ‘Adult’ content. This means that even with the proper permissions, young adults cannot access certain LGBTQ+ books tailored for their age group because they have been labelled as 18+."

Hi Jeremie.

Unfortunately, we cannot post images because we use Tor.

The #article19 website is going through the #CloudFlare MITM attack on the internet. Anyone can check this by hitting Ctrl+Sift+E in TorBrowser, then looking at the server response.

A limited list of abuses by Cloudflare.

Today we revealed ourselves how Cloudflare appear responsible for targetted #denialOfService to online #bankingService.
