 Dear Mr Porter 

Thank you for your information request, submitted with Mid Ulster District
Council under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act) on 03/04/2024
regarding individuals employed as Covid marshalls/enforcement.

The Council confirms that local councils in Northern Ireland were not
responsible for employing Covid marshalls/enforcement, therefore I am
unable to answer your enquiry.  You may wish to contact the Public Health
Agency Northern Ireland who may be able to assist you [1]Public Health
Northern Ireland.

I hope this is of assistance. However, under the Act, if you are not happy
with the way in which your request has been handled, you have the right to
ask for an internal review. This review, should be requested within 2
months of the date of this response and should be sent to:

Chief Executive
Mid Ulster District Council
Dungannon Office
Circular Road
DUNGANNON BT71 6DT
[2][email address]

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you can
ask the Information Commissioner for a decision on whether the Council has
complied with its responsibilities under the Act. The Information
Commissioner can be contacted at:

Information Commissioner’s Office
Wycliffe House
Water Lane
Wilmslow
Cheshire SK9 5AF

me.
