> The news item is not terribly illuminating in that the link is simply to

>
> The only thing that I have found that might be relevant is from the ICO
> Annual Report 2005-6 (specifically the last sentence):
>
> "More than two thirds of freedom of information complaints received in
> Northern Ireland relate to public authorities withholding information as
> they claim an exemption applies, rather than because they have not handled
> the case in line with the procedural requirements of the Act. This differs
> from our experience in England and Wales, where we generally receive as many
> complaints in relation to procedural matters. This reflects the complexity
> and sensitivity of the local issues that have been the subject of freedom of
> information requests in Northern Ireland."
