This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Right to Know CLG received a High Court judgment in its appeal over access to IBEC transport-related records on 31 July 2020. The appeal challenged the Commissioner for Environmental Information’s decision that the requested material was not environmental information.

The documents concerned IBEC’s business priorities for a ministerial handover, including transport infrastructure and decarbonising transport. The records had been provided to Right to Know outside the access regulations, but the organisation maintained its appeal.
