Late applications and appeals
O’Keeffe sought reconsideration for applicants delayed by their banks or the ACC and details of the appeals committee; the Minister promised the information and a sympathetic look at genuine cases.
The Minister has said that he does not propose to reopen the scheme to applicants who did not make application in time. The applicants I had in mind in my part of the question were people who, through lack of co-operation from their bank managers and perhaps also the ACC, failed to meet the deadline. Will he take another look at those cases because there are grounds for so doing? I am not seeking the admission of new applicants. Would the Minister give the names and addresses of those people on the appeals committee to whom people can appeal, if rejected, and have their cases reheard?
