I'm in touch with several parties who have a history of making OIA requests of Corrections dept . It appears to be Corrections' standard policy to ask for an extention of time . The legal provision to extend was designed as an exception , not as standard policy .

These parties have recently complained to the Ombudsman about this . I suggest you do likewise .

Dear Info@Corrections,

Thank you for your response however I am not satisfied with the response and I will decide how to remedy my dissatisfaction after I have thought about the best way forward.

In regards to this request it is still open and needs to be satisfied.

I feel an Ombudsman review is premature at this particular stage but it will be considered during the planning process.

Yours sincerely,

Lance-Desmond: Lavery
