Mr. Padraig McMahon:
We also have to say that the appeals officer is independent of the Department and it is meant to be independent. I do not know what the particular case was, but the Department is entitled to appeal something if it feels it is important enough. It is an independent process, however, and it is not that the appeals officer is acting on behalf of the Department.
