FREEDOM OF INFORMATION

GMIT is a prescribed body for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act 1997 and the Freedom of Information (Amendment) Act 2003 (“Freedom of Information Legislation”). Freedom of Information Legislation provides that every person is entitled to (a) access official records held by public bodies prescribed under the Act, including GMIT; (b) have personal information held on them corrected or updated where such information is incomplete, incorrect or misleading; and (c) to be given reasons for decisions taken by public bodies that affect them.

If you have any queries regarding your rights or GMIT’s obligations with regard to compliance with Freedom of Information Legislation, please put them in writing (and not by email) to the Freedom of Information Officer, Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, Dublin Road, Galway.
