Exemptions

As stated earlier in this Scheme, it is the Comhairle's aim to be as open and informative as possible. Information within any of the classes of information listed below may, however, be withheld where the Comhairle considers that disclosure may seriously prejudice law enforcement, legal proceedings, the Comhairle's regulatory or enforcement activities or where the disclosure is otherwise prohibited by law. The Comhairle may also withhold information which may seriously prejudice the commercial interests or confidentiality of any person or organisation. Finally, the Comhairle may also withhold information which is personal information.

In these cases, the Comhairle will withhold the information and indicate why the information is being withheld.
