Dear Mr Allen
I refer to your FOI request - FOI 23-24/125. Unfortunately, the Department of Finance does not consider that it will be in the position to finalise the decision to your request by 14 May 2024. We are still in the process of consulting with third parties regarding the document identified in scope of our request, and do not consider that we will have sufficient time to consider the comments of the third parties, prepare the document for release, and prepare a statement of reasons by the due date.
On this basis, I respectfully seek your agreement to an extension to allow us further time to process your request. Should you agree, your request will be due on Tuesday, 21 May 2024.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, it is greatly appreciated. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email address].
