According to the Register of Lobbying (Return IDs: 113639 and earlier return dated 18 May 2024), the IFA lobbied officials in your Department during two relevant periods. • Jan-Apr 2024: \"Flat Rate VAT Refund to the Poultry Sector\" • May-Aug 2024: \"VAT & Taxation on Farm Inputs\" (Return ID: 113639) CONTEXT FOR THIS REQUEST This request arises from recently published information on the Register of Lobbying which reveals the extensive scope of the IFA's lobbying campaign across government on the flat rate VAT scheme. The public interest in this matter is particularly significant given that Revenue's 2018 report identified overcompensation in the poultry sector at approximately 1000%. The lobbying campaign was coordinated across multiple government departments, suggesting a sophisticated whole-of-government approach by the IFA to influence policy on this matter. Understanding how government departments responded to this lobbying campaign, in the context of Revenue's own findings of significant overcompensation that went unaddressed for years, is a matter of considerable public importance and raises questions about policy-making, the influence of lobbying, and the stewardship of public funds. PARALLEL REQUESTS TO OTHER DEPARTMENTS For your information, I am making similar Freedom of Information requests to all departments that were lobbied during this campaign: •Department of Finance ,Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine,Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform,Department of Defence,Department of Social Protection,Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment,Department of the Taoiseach I am informing you of this not to request any inter-departmental coordination of responses - each department should process this request independently within the statutory timeframe - but rather to provide context for the request and to note that records of inter-departmental communications would naturally form part of the records held by your Department. Given the cross-governmental nature of the lobbying campaign, consistency and transparency across departmental responses would serve the public interest. I am seeking access to the following records for the period 1 January 2024 to 31 August 2024: A. CORRESPONDENCE AND SUBMISSIONS 1. All correspondence (emails, letters, submissions) received from the Irish Farmers' Association regarding: o Flat rate VAT addition scheme o Poultry sector and flat rate VAT o Agricultural taxation matters o Public expenditure relating to agricultural VAT refunds 2. All correspondence exchanged between the following officials and the IFA: o Minister Paschal Donohoe o Special Adviser Fiona O'Connor o Special Adviser Grant Sweetnam o Special Adviser Kevin Barrett Their offices or departmental officials" }, { "public_body_id": 1014, "name": "Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation", "file_url": "https://assets.gov.ie/static/documents/7f4e4f3a/Qtr_1_2026_FOI_Disclosure_Log.pdf", "file_type": "pdf", "foi_reference_id": "FOI/P001/2026 cont", "decision_date": null, "requester_type": "Other", "decision_status": "Granted", "review_status": null, "related_request": null, "request_description": "B.

I am open to receiving a copy of any single available record that confirms the position please. Under the Civil Service Disciplinary Code (para 4.8), the External Appeals Officer is required to make a recommendation to management “in like form to one of the four options specified at section 4.6”, i.e., s/he has to choose from one of these four options: • Appeal unsuccessful – uphold the disciplinary action • Appeal successful – determine that no disciplinary action shall be taken • Appeal partially successful – take another, more suitable, disciplinary action, except that the recommendation shall not include reassignment of the civil servant to another location or other duties • Appeal identifies the need for the case to be reconsidered by the relevant manager to remedy a specified deficiency in the disciplinary proceedings. I am referring to circumstances where the External Appeals Officer makes a recommendation for bullet 2 (appeal successful - determine that no disciplinary action shall be taken) which is then accepted by management thereby concluding the disciplinary process. I'm trying to establish precisely what this means for a Civil Servant who had been accused of wrongdoing and that wrongdoing caused the disciplinary process to commence. Does it mean that there is no finding of wrongdoing or misconduct on the Civil Servant's record, consequent to which no disciplinary action shall be taken? Has the Civil Servant essentially been found innocent of the charges against him/her? Does this conclusion mean that any earlier findings of misconduct at earlier stages of the process are overturned? Has the employee cleared his/her name? Can it ever be the case that a Civil Service employee who has undergone the rigours of a disciplinary process up to and including the final stage and achieve a successful external appeal, will have a finding of misconduct on his/her record?" }, { "public_body_id": 1014, "name": "Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation", "file_url": "https://assets.gov.ie/static/documents/78cd659b/Qtr_4_2025_FOI_Disclosure_Log.pdf", "file_type": "pdf", "foi_reference_id": "FOI/P328/2025", "decision_date": null, "requester_type": "Journalist", "decision_status": "Refused", "review_status": null, "related_request": null, "request_description": "In case you consider this request to be voluminous, please be assured that I am not seeking any and all records that Correspondence between senior department officials, secretaries general, or the minister in relation to pay levels or other remuneration for secretaries general in the last 12 months.-\"senior department officials\" meaning PO and above" }, { "public_body_id": 1014, "name": "Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation", "file_url": "https://assets.gov.ie/static/documents/78cd659b/Qtr_4_2025_FOI_Disclosure_Log.pdf", "file_type": "pdf", "foi_reference_id": "FOI/P329/2025", "decision_date": null, "requester_type": "Journalist", "decision_status": "Part-Granted", "review_status": null, "related_request": null, "request_description": "Correspondence between the minister, secretary general and officials at the NSSO office in relation to pension errors related to civil service retirees, current and former ministers and office holders and retired civil servants in the last 12 months." }, { "public_body_id": 1014, "name": "Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation", "file_url": "https://assets.gov.ie/static/documents/78cd659b/Qtr_4_2025_FOI_Disclosure_Log.pdf", "file_type": "pdf", "foi_reference_id": "FOI/P330/2025", "decision_date": null, "requester_type": "Journalist", "decision_status": "Part-Granted", "review_status": null, "related_request": null, "request_description": "Correspondence between the minister and boards of commercial semi-state bodies in relation to increases in pay bands for CEOs in the last 12 months." }, { "public_body_id": 1014, "name": "Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation", "file_url": "https://assets.gov.ie/static/documents/78cd659b/Qtr_4_2025_FOI_Disclosure_Log.pdf", "file_type": "pdf", "foi_reference_id": "FOI/P332/2025", "decision_date": null, "requester_type": "Oireachtas", "decision_status": "Refused", "review_status": null, "related_request": null, "request_description": "I wish to apply for a digital copy of the Ministerial briefing documents or notes provided to the new Minister of State with responsibility for Public Procurement, Digitalisation and eGovernment, Frank Feighan and his team of special advisors on his appointment.

If an officer has received an allowance such as an acting up allowance for a short period of time only, it may be excluded from 'ordinary remuneration', in that it does not yet constitute part of the officer's stable rate of pay (which is the pay he/she has been receiving for a reasonably extended period of time).” Under the Freedom of Information Act 2014 I am seeking access to this advice from the Department of Finance to the Revenue Commissioners and to any records that may have amended this advice at any later point. In addition, I am seeking access to any advice that may have been issued from the Department of Finance or the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to any other Government Department regarding the matter of the definition of 'ordinary remuneration' for the purposes of paying 'ordinary remuneration' to employees during periods of suspension." }, { "public_body_id": 1014, "name": "Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation", "file_url": "https://assets.gov.ie/static/documents/Qtr_2_2024_FOI_Disclosure_Log.pdf", "file_type": "pdf", "foi_reference_id": "FOI/P089/2024", "decision_date": null, "requester_type": "Journalist", "decision_status": "Part-Granted", "review_status": null, "related_request": null, "request_description": "Dear Freedom of Information Officer, Under the Freedom of Information Act 2014, I am seeking Copies of the following esubmissions and attached documents: I wish for my request to cover the period from 1/1/2024 - 24/4/24. - PER 00342-24: Opt-in to measures of the EU Pact on Migration - PER 00337-24: Memo for Information RE: Health Expenditure Report 26/03/2024 to end-December 2023 - PER 00291-24: SW Regs -Assessment of Means Mother and Baby; Sexual abuse of pupils - PER 00307-24: Memo for information -National Risk Assessment for Ireland 2023 - PER 00300-24: D/ETE NDP position - PER 00296-24: Request for Extension of the Mandatory Retirement Age in for Retained Fire fighters" }, { "public_body_id": 1014, "name": "Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation", "file_url": "https://assets.gov.ie/static/documents/Qtr_2_2024_FOI_Disclosure_Log.pdf", "file_type": "pdf", "foi_reference_id": "FOI/P090/2024", "decision_date": null, "requester_type": "Journalist", "decision_status": "Refused", "review_status": null, "related_request": null, "request_description": "Under the Freedom of Information Act 2014, I am seeking Copies of the following esubmissions and attached documents: I wish for my request to cover the period from 1/1/2024 - 22/4/24. - PER 00339-24: For Cabinet: Memo on Accommodation Strategy for International Protection Applicants - PER 00294-24: NTF Update - PER 00326-24: Briefing on Memorandum for the Information of the Government on 2024 Waiting List Action Plan - PER 00312-24: National Demand Management Strategy - PER 00238-24: Action Plan for Apprenticeship 2021-2025: Progress Update February 2024 - PER 00289-24: Citywest License Extension - PER 00289-24: For Cabinet: Memo on Convention on the International Protection of Adults - PER 00270-24: Memo: Enterprise Fleet Replacement" }, { "public_body_id": 1014, "name": "Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation", "file_url": "https://assets.gov.ie/static/documents/Qtr_2_2024_FOI_Disclosure_Log.pdf", "file_type": "pdf", "foi_reference_id": "FOI/P091/2024", "decision_date": null, "requester_type": "Journalist", "decision_status": "Granted", "review_status": null, "related_request": null, "request_description": "Under the Freedom of Information Act, I am seeking access to the following records- All correspondence between David Moloney, sec gen, and Robert Watt, sec gen at the department of health, dated between 01/01/24 and 25/04/24." }, { "public_body_id": 1014, "name": "Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation", "file_url": "https://assets.gov.ie/static/documents/Qtr_2_2024_FOI_Disclosure_Log.pdf", "file_type": "pdf", "foi_reference_id": "FOI/P092/2024", "decision_date": null, "requester_type": "Journalist", "decision_status": "Part-Granted", "review_status": null, "related_request": null, "request_description": "Under the FOI Act 2014, I am seeking the following ministerial submissions: - PER 01544-23 NCH - PER 00217-24 Defence Forces Retirement - PER 00207-24 Metrolink Briefing - PER 00076-24 Transfer of State Lands - PER 01543-23 LDA Business Plan - PER 00331-24 OPW Capability - PER 00231-24 Global Ireland - PER 01397-23 MATS - PER 01287-23 Ceann Comhairle Request I would prefer to receive this information electronically, ideally in its original electronic format." }, { "public_body_id": 1014, "name": "Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation", "file_url": "https://assets.gov.ie/static/documents/Qtr_2_2024_FOI_Disclosure_Log.pdf", "file_type": "pdf", "foi_reference_id": "FOI/P093/2024", "decision_date": null, "requester_type": "Journalist", "decision_status": "Part-Granted", "review_status": null, "related_request": null, "request_description": "I am seeking a list of esubmissions submitted to the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform through the e-submissions channel.
