Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I get confused myself; I am the first to put my hands up. I was referring to the chief deciding officer and the documents. If he or she requests further documents to help making a decision, there is no provision in the Bill for those documents to be shared with the person coming forward, the applicant.

Perhaps the Minister could point out in which section can be found an obligation on the chief deciding officer or appeal officer to provide whatever information he or she has to the applicant in the interests of openness and accountability so the applicant knows how the decision was reached and what it was based on. That would be very helpful.
