Dear LINDSEY-TEMPLE, Mark,
Since we last communicated I have been overseas and more recently recovering from major surgery. I am now in a position to seek an update on my information request.
Could you please let me know when you will be able to supply me with the requested documents?
Yours sincerely,
Chris Smyth

Dear Mr Smyth,
Foreign Fishing Vessel FOI
I refer to our ongoing correspondence in regard to your application for
information in regard to Foreign Fishing Vessel information.
I thank you once again for your patience in waiting for a decision and
release of documents, which to date have been delayed by:
1. The number of documents identified as relevant to your
application;
2. The interruption of the caretaker period and election, for which
I sought external advice on their effect on formal/statutory processes;
and recently,
3. Technical difficulties in electronically redacting /applying
statutory exemptions to relevant documents.
I spent considerable time over the weekend attempting to apply electronic
redactions to relevant documents for release - ultimately without success.
I will arrange a meeting with IT and/or the Communications team tomorrow
( Monday 1 July 2019) and provide an update.
Sincerely
Mark
