Copies of the "internal" documentation, instructions to staff, memos, schedules etc by which you require and direct your staff to compile (and what information to gather in order to compile etc) returns for submission to organs of the State which identify vacant properties based on electricity usage in accordance with such legislation as compels you to submit same. It would be helpful too to have a copy of such a return - though of course with NO user identity so as to be GDPR compliant.  

I am willing to amend my request if it will save you time yet still help me answer the key questions.

QUESTIONS: It is understood that your company/business/organisation advises an organ of the state when metered supply appears to be unused and thus indicates a Vacant House, which leads to punitive LPT Charges. Accordingly what I am interested to determine is:

1. Do you provide such information when usage falls below a certain level?

2. If "YES" I wish to find out:

2.1 what that certain level is (specified in unit of measure) 2.2 what time period that involves (i.e. measured over a month ? 3 months ? what ?)

2.3 the organ of state to which the return is made (Revenue, Housing what ?)

2.4 if there is specific legislation compelling you to do this, and if so  

2.5 what is the specific legislation called (i.e. what Act is it ?)  

2.6 Given the provisions of GDPR, whether you are in breach of same?  

3. What the "certain level" (see 1 above) is beyond which you would not be compelled to make a return 

Surely there is an operations agreement covering how services generally and including the DPO service is provided? This is a requirement of the DSO licence as I understand it. Can you send me a copy of the relevant Operations Agreement(s)?

Minutes of all meetings held between ESB Networks/EirGrid and Clonberne Windfarm Ltd/MKO and any other associated group relating to a planning permission application (ref: 2460230) that ESB Networks have submitted to Galway County Council for the development of a new 38Kv overhead line (OHL) that will travel from Glenamaddy to Cloonascragh. The planned development consists of 179 polies, up to 18 metres in height, to be erected across several townlands in the North Galway region. I would like to obtain access to the minutes of all the meetings held between ESB Networks/EirGrid and Clonberne Windfarm Ltd/MKO regarding this matter.

Request for a copy of any agreement or memorandum in relation to the procurement or provision of data protection officer services to ESB networks.

This request relates to the opening dates of ESB owned and operated electric vehicle chargers. Please see attached a pdf list of the ESB operated chargers I found on the ESB eCars website. Assuming the is the list containing both current and historic ESB charge points, I am looking for the date at which the charge points were opened. Please note the year the charge point became available is sufficient detail in this case. I believe this request falls under condition 9 Provision of Metering and Data Services of the Distribution System Operator’s Licensed functions.

Complaints Handling Procedure With reference to the Distributor System Operator Licence, “Complaints Handling Procedure” is mentioned in, 'Condition 15' and 'Condition 16' of the Licence.  So the Complaints Handling Procedure Document is subject to an 'ongoing revision process'. There is a Complaints Handling Procedure Document. (To 'start' with.)Then there are Periodic Reviews of this Document. By ESBNs, the licensee. If Modifications / Revisions are appropriate, these are communicated to the CRU(Commission for Regulation of Utilities).The CRU approve any suggested Modifications / Revisions.The Complaints Handling Procedure Document is updated and published. And for 'simplicity', one could 'tabulate' the 'ongoing Revision Process'So this is the Data / Records that I am looking for. The Data that I can enter into my 'Tabulation'.And the Records that 'support' the Data.And the actual Complaints Handling Procedure Documents, as they go through their 'updating' / revising. (i.e. Version 1, Version 2, Version 3, etc.) Starting Date' ?
