The issues concern whether the process can be speeded up without affecting its integrity. Mr. O'Callaghan dealt with the issue in the Circuit Court. Personally, I would have reservations about hearings being held totally in public on the basis that one was dealing with people's livelihoods. I note that there are cases in which one has individuals who are blatantly flouting the system, but, equally, there are many people who are doing their best where it is purely a matter of interpretation between Revenue and the individual business person concerned.
