3 October 2014
This part has been superseded and the content moved to Part 3. For details on this change, please read on.
FOI guidelines paragraph comparison table — integration of Parts 3 and 8
The October 2014 revisions of the FOI guidelines involve structural changes. In particular, the former Parts 3 and 8 have been merged, resulting in a new consolidated Part 3. Some sections of the former Part 3 have also been moved to Part 2.
While the content from the former Part 8 remains largely the same, the order in which it is presented (in the new Part 3) has changed. Those changes aim to reflect the order of the FOI request lifecycle.
Information about the restructuring is given in the 2 tables below, principally through showing where paragraphs from the previous Part 3 and Part 8 have been moved to in the new Part 3 (and in Part 2 in a few cases). More information about the October 2014 FOI Guidelines revisions can be found in the Summary of Version Changes to s 93A Guidelines Table.
