Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

I move amendment No. 14:

In page 6, line 40, to delete "may" and substitute "shall".

An appeal committee may refuse to hear, or continue to hear, an appeal under this section if it is of the opinion that the appeal is vexatious, frivolous, an abuse of the process or without substance or foundation. I wish to replace the word "may" with "shall". If the committee considers the appeal is vexatious, frivolous or an abuse of the process, it should not continue with it.
