Ms Aideen O'Reilly:

I will come back on specifically what the Chairman referred to because it does not fit with the judgment as I understand it. The core of the Dellway decision was that where a public body was considering a decision which could have an adverse effect on the interests of a person - in this case the plaintiff, Dellway - that person was entitled to make representations prior to the decision and was also entitled to have reasons given to them for that decision.
