Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
Draft Regulations on the Operation of the Social Welfare Appeals Office: Discussion
Mr. John McKeon:
We will bring that back to the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel but I think it is probably okay. Most legislation refers to the party making the appeal. That does not preclude an advocate or solicitor making the appeal on their behalf. That is the case across legislation generally. It is probably okay but we will bring the point back and if it is a real block, we will certainly consider it. As it is drafted, it probably enables that-----
