My experience, and I am sure that of many of my colleagues who would deal with similar cases, would be totally different to what Mr. McKeon is outlining. The appeal process has become an industry within the Department in recent times. Correct me if I am wrong but, in the event that an application for a scheme is refused, there is a potential review within a shorter period. Is that correct?
