from the Courts. I understand the information to be available in tabular (spreadsheet) form and has been submitted to the EPA as part of the RMCEI returns process. The information I seek is consistent with the publication of similar information by other prosecuting bodies. For instance, the EPA publishes details of successful prosecutions. The Office of Director of Corporate Enforcment publishes, in its annual report, a table of directors who have been disqualified following court orders. The Revenue Commissioners publishes the list of the tax defaulters, who made settlements in lieu of a court conviction. I do not seek information on parties acquitted or cases where the prosecution did not proceed. Information of this nature is supposed to be public under Article 34 of the Constitution, that justice be administered in public. As such it cannot be considered to be confidential or would ever have the character necessary to be treated as confidential. Under Section 17 of the Act I would ask that the information be released electronically in a .xls or similar file format. If amending the wording of the request is likely to reduce unnecessary workload I am happy to consider an alternative phrasing.
