As you may be aware the purpose of the Act is to allow a general right of access to information held at the time of a request, by a Public Authority (including the Police), subject to certain limitations and exemptions.
You asked:

- Can you please break the numbers down into "right to ask" and "right to know"
- How many of these requests went past stage one
- How many reached stage two (face to face meeting)
- How many reached stage three (disclosure?)
