205 Deputy John Perry asked the Minister for Justice and Law Reform the reason an appeal hearing scheduled for 11.30 a.m. on Thursday, 27 October 2010 was adjourned at 1.15 p.m. by the tribunal member due to the over running of a hearing that commenced at 10.30 a.m. in order to facilitate another hearing before the same tribunal member to proceed at 2 p.m., although the 11.30 a.m. appeal hearing was from the Galway refugee legal service office and involved personnel attending the hearing from Galway as well as language analysts from Sweden who had been requested by the applicant’s legal representatives to be summonsed by the tribunal, as opposed to the 2 p.m. appeal hearing, which was from Dublin and did not involve any additional such costs; the additional cost to the taxpayer of this rescheduled hearing, including travelling expenses, subsistence allowance and attendance fees in respect of the applicant, their legal representative, witness and interpreter for a new rescheduled hearing; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
