High Court upholds the Information Commissioner's decision denying access to records requested by an individual concerning An Garda Síochána's stops and searches in the Dundalk/Louth district, including the legal provisions used to justify the stops and searches and a breakdown of these incidents by age, gender, and ethnicity. The court determined that these records do not constitute "administrative records relating to human resources, or finance or procurement matters" as defined under the Freedom of Information Act 2014, and therefore fall outside the scope of information that must be disclosed.
