HEA FOI Publication Scheme



Section 8 of the Freedom of Information Act 2014 requires FOI bodies to prepare and publish a scheme concerning the publication of information by the body in conformity with a model publication scheme  made by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.  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.  The Minister is of the view that FOI bodies should 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.   The scheme commits FOI bodies to make information available as part of their normal business activities in accordance with the scheme.
