Therefore, I am specifically requesting access to all documentation, correspondence, or files mentioned in the Sidestream News article, including but not limited to any material cited as being in the possession of government departments or agencies or any material the departments have in relation to specific events, locations and occurrences described in the above article. This request is intended to ensure a comprehensive disclosure of all relevant records, materials, and communications related to these topics. I respectfully request that this search include all available records, irrespective of classification or categorization, and cover all relevant departments and units. If information is deemed exempt or redacted, I request a detailed explanation citing the applicable exemption provisions under the Freedom of Information Act. If this request is considered too broad, I would appreciate assistance in refining it to ensure its compliance while maintaining the intent to obtain a full account of relevant information. I quite simply won't accept a response stating that there were no relevant files pertaining to my request since we know of numerous cases that it would frankly be embarrassing if the defence forces or department of defence do not have record of, considering they are known to the public. There is a slim to 0% chance that there is no internal communication within these departments that even discussed UAP. I'm also requesting this internal correspondence as stated above. I would also like a confirmation of receipt of this request and an estimated timeline for when I can expect a response. I understand this request exhibits frustrations, though not unfounded, and is not personal to the case handlers. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I am writing to you on the issue of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) in the skies over the Republic of Ireland. What monitoring of reports is being carried out? What is being done to record and investigate reports made in the Republic of Ireland? Can I request a copy of the documents be sent to me digitally asap so I can study them? Please use search terms that are interchangeable but specific: ‘Unidentified Flying Objects’ and ‘UFO’, ‘Flying Saucer’
