Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform
Overview of 2014 Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion
3:30 pm
Mr. Brian Keegan:
There is a delay. We have been expecting a consultation process for almost two years. We are merely asking that such a process be prioritised because, in the interests of fairness and equity, there needs to be a more robust appeals process. That is not to say the existing commissioners are doing a poor job. We are saying there are only two of them and the costs, because we are using procedures that were designed 50 or 60 years ago, are too high. Our proposal is in the interest of equity.
