Joanna Tuffy (Labour)

I move amendment No. 26 to amendment No. 15:

After paragraph (e)(ii), to insert the following new subparagraph:

"(iii) the insertion in subsection (3) (as amended by the Immigration Act, 1999) after "under section" of " 12 or".

The purpose of this amendment is to provide for a right to an oral hearing of a manifestly unfounded appeal under section 12. We believe the current appeals system is unsatisfactory and unfair. I would like to hear the Minister's comments.
