Subject: Re: Clarification of request for Official Information

Dear Frances Duignan,

Thank you for contacting me for clarification. I request that all our correspondence is undertaken in an open and transparent manner, rather than by phone.

If it helps I can attempt to clarify my request.

I assume that the EPA has a communications team which is operating within a set budget. I am seeking under the official information act a copy of this budget and the different costs that fall within it. I would like the entire budget, but if it does not specify the total budget for communication staff salaries as well as consultants then I would like this information to be provided separately.

Yours sincerely,

George Valentine

Dear Frances Duignan,

Thank you for following up with me and my apologies on the delay. I am happy for you to treat my clarification as a trigger for a new request, rather than a continuation of the old i.e. you can restart the OIA doomsday 'clock'.

I am seeking the actual spend for the 2015/16 year and the budget for the 2016/17 year.

Yours sincerely,

George Valentine
