Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

In some of the amendments we are looking for more flexibility but in this one, we are trying to take it away. The word "may" at least allows the appeal to continue if there is a belief there might be an issue worthy of consideration bearing in mind facilitation will have taken place before the matter ever gets to appeal. The committee might consider a number of elements of the appeal are vexatious but that there might be one which is worthy of pursuing. This allows that flexibility.
