Eolas Ginearálta
Ní féidir taifid atá ar coimeád ag Comhlachtaí SF eile a iarraidh tríd an Aonad Lárnach Polasaí (CPU) maidir le Saoráil Faisnéise sa Roinn Caiteachais Phoiblí agus Athchóirithe. Sa chás gur mian leat teacht ar thaifid atá ar coimeád ag comhlacht poiblí, ní mór duit iarratas ina leith a dhéanamh leis an gcomhlacht poiblí sin go díreach.
Mar shampla: Sa chás gur mian leat teacht ar thaifid faoi cheist polasaí sa Roinn Comhshaoil, Pobail agus Rialtais Áitiúil, ní mór duit iarratas a dhéanamh leis an Roinn sin nó sa chás gurb iad do chuid taifid leighis ar mhaith leat teacht a bheith agat orthu, ní mór duit iarratas ina leith sin a dhéanamh leis an Oifigeach Réigiúnach SF, maidir leis an réigiún cuí, i FSS.
An gá i ngach cás iarratas SF a dhéanamh le heolas a fháil ó chomhlacht poiblí? D’fhéadfadh go mbeadh an t-eolas atá uait ar fáil agat trí mhodhanna eile, mar shampla:
- Trí phlé leis an gcomhalta cuí den chomhlacht poiblí.
- Trí bhileoga eolais, tuarascálacha bliantúla, etc. arna bhfoilsiú ag an gcomhlacht poiblí.
- Trí mhodh riaracháin, i.e. trí scríobh chuig an Oifigeach cuí sa chomhlacht poiblí agus an t-eolas/taifead atá de dhíth a lua.
Sula gcuireann tú iarratas Saoráil Faisnéise isteach, seiceáil Scéim Foilseacháin an Chomhlachta Phoiblí ar láithreán gréasáin an Chomhlachta go bhfeictear an bhfuil an t-eolas ar fáil go héasca.
