Amendments Nos. 19 and 21 inserted a new section in the Bill as passed by Seanad Éireann, now numbered sections 13 and 15, to keep appellants and licence applicants and licence holders in the documentary loop, with the right to comment on relevant documentation not originated by them. Amendment No. 23 requires the appeals officer to consider any such comments before determining the appeal in question. The consequential amendments Nos. 27 and 28 to what is now section 17 of the Bill extend the time limit for receipt of such comments by an appeals officer to the next day on which the office of the appeals office is open if the time limit otherwise expired on a day on which that office was closed.
