Under the Freedom of Information Act 2014, I am requesting access to any records held by the ESB that contain a transcript of all or part of the High Court proceedings referenced above.

I was informed by the High Court Central Office that they do not hold such records and that the parties to the case would have maintained a transcript. However, the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications has since confirmed that they do not possess these records either. 

As one of the initiators of the proceedings, I provided sworn testimony and was cross-examined by counsel representing the Minister for the Environment and the ESB. 

Given this, I am seeking any records in your possession that pertain to the transcript of the proceedings. 

If any part of my request is too broad or would require excessive resources to process, please let me know so that I may refine it accordingly. Additionally, if any records are exempt from release, I would appreciate a schedule of documents outlining the reasons for their exemption.
