Dear Mr O’Hooley,
I am writing to inform you that we have identified further information
within the scope of your request. I am sorry that this was not identified
in our initial searches.
This was not identified at the time because we had thought that searches
had been carried out by one of our teams, however this had been missed and
so those searches had not been carried out.
Please find that information attached, please note that some information
has been redacted because it is personal data, however no copies of
correspondence that we have identified within the scope of your request
have been withheld, and there are no other exemptions that apply to this
information.
I apologise for our delay in getting this to you.
