I) Days after receiving the letter of 6/10/1997(see Document 5 and 6) from the president(Dr Stanley Roberts) of the royal college which depicted the appeals procedures to the council, I applied for an appeal according to these appeals procedures by a letter dated 14/10/1997(see documents 1 and 2)); this letter was stamped by the college as received and acknowledged by the registrar in document 3.Note that I’ve long been denied these appeals procedures by the registrar Dr.T.J.McKenna despite my repeated requests and his promise to the exam committee to send me these procedures(see chapter 8). Dr.Stanley Roberts was watching out Dr.McKenna' s behaviour and was enraged when the latter swapped my appeal documents in the council meeting(see below) and insisted that he writes the appeal documents he swapped in his letter to me following this council meeting. Furthermore he suspended him from the registrar position for breaching the college regulation. Dr.Roberts did not know of Dr.McKenna's involvement in the whole affair, and didn't know how Dr McKenna forced himself into the registrar position at this particular time after Dr feely quited the registrar position before the end of his term in office( See PS in the second paragraph of Chapter One), also review chapter six.
II) The documents I appealed for by were mentioned in my letter of appeal dated 14/10/1997 (Document 1 and 2); the sentence “enclosed copy” was always attached to those documents when referred to in the body of the letter (Document 1,2),so I applied for the appeal by the documents: 12/7/1995, 29/8/1995, 25/1/1996, and 16/5/1996 ,the college appeals procedures (shown in document 5 and 6) is as any other appeal on earth entitles the appellant to advance his own grounds and documents.
Despite Dr.McKenna's acknowledgement in the first paragraph of (Document 3) that this
appeal was from 7th February 1997 ruling of Education and Exam Committee decision he neither submitted this committee's minutes or ruling!!!

III) Documents 3, 4 show that the registrar has chosen instead to present to the council on my behalf the documents: 30/1/1996, 31/1/1996, 14/2/1996, 21/2/1996, and 12/4/1996
IV) Comparing the documents in the above II) and III) it’s very obvious that the two set of documents bore no resemblance whatsoever i.e. 100% swap, in doing so the registrar (Dr.T.J.McKenna) has breached his role as a mere lodger to the appeal (see document 5) by refusing to transmit the appeal documents exactly as it has been lodged at him while been destined to the council. The council is in essence a panel of court judges, had a law court registrar swapped documents lodged at him by an appellant before presenting those to the court judges he would have been criminally prosecuted. .
V) Dr.McKenna states that the documents he presented to the council as shown in document 3 “has now been formally applied for by you” i.e. he deceived the council in saying that I formally applied to the council by the documents mentioned in Document 3 which he chose to present to the council instead of the documents I presented to him (see II above) to transmit to the council.
VI) Dr.McKenna states in the fourth paragraph of Document 3 that the decision made was based on the evidence of the documents presented (he should have said on the base of the documents he chose to present to the council instead of the ones I presented to him to pass to the council) ,this was a flagrant breach of his role as a registrar as depicted by the appeals procedure (see document 5), since he should have transmitted the documents I (the appellant) presented to him(the registrar) to the council (the law court).Since this council decision was based on evidence that has been tampered with, it follows that this decision is flawed and ought to be declared legally null and void. Moreover Dr.T.J.McKenna’s conflict of interest (see chapters 4, 6) being a member of the exam board I’m complaining of certainly discredits all the appeals procedures he was involved in
VII) Not only did Dr.McKenna swap my appeal documents (see above) bu he also cancelled any role for the college secretary as depicted by the appeals procedures (see document 5),the college secretary was supposed to negotiate completeness of the documents by corresponding with me (the appellant). Furthemore, he refused to abide by the 21 days, 28 days rules as per the procedures rules (see document 5).Dr McKenna simply trashed the documents I presented to him and prevented the college secretary from compiling the documents file before presenting it to the council as per the rules set in Document 5, instead Dr.McKenna presented (straightaway and without preparing the 21/28 days file) to the council documents of his own choice to reach a council decision of his own choice. When I raised the point of the council reconsidering my actual documents and appeal and to abide by the 21,28 days rule, he was extremly adamant not to do so. According to the college meetings minutes (in my possession), he defended a court case against RCPI on his own without involving the council. In fact he was defending himself.
VIII) The registrar (Dr.T.J.McKenna)swapped my documents with other ones fearing that had he transmitted the documents I presented to him to the council this would have certainly resulted in the council allowing my appeal to reach an investigation by an independent appeals committee (see document 6), an investigation which would have reached him personally as an examiner included in my charges (see chapter 4), the same investigation would have also discovered that the written marks were fabricated to cover for the mislaid 1996 exam answer papers (see chapter 3) .this marks fabrication would have also touched Dr.T.J. McKenna being a member of this 1996 exam board(see Chapter 6).
IX) I requested that he rectifies the situiation and re-transmits my appeal original papers (as I submitted to him ) to the council many times,and to abide by the 21,28 days rule. I further added that this will result in a court action, but he refused. He simply could not bring himself to jeopardise himself.
The above was part of the pattern of Dr.McKenna’s panicky behavior which made him slip into the registrar position (see chapter 6), trick the examination committee by not sending me the appeals procedures despite his commitment to do so(see chapter 8), till the then president realized his tricks when I alerted him and he (the president) sent me the appeals procedures (see document 5, 6) the very procedure Dr.McKenna subsequently flouted (see above) when been forced by the president to deal with .
All Dr.Mckenna’s actions ,insistence on dealing with the complaint despite the personal accusations and his conflict of interest have been brought to the attention of the four college censors in two lengthy letters including all the documents but they preferred to turn a blind eye (see chapters 8 and 10).
The reason that Dr.McKenna got himself so involved is because he was the Clinical/Convenor Examiner of my Clinical Exam in St Vincents Hospital where he worked (see chapter 4).His name was displayed on the ward of the clinical exam on that date and his registrar was preparing the cases of the exam, she was with us that day and she was always mentioning his name as the man in charge. I did not know Dr.MaCkenna's name before that as I never worked in Ireland nor I did Endocrinology as speciality.I only recalled his name when he took over the registrar after I lodged a complaint against the clinical exam arrangements (and fabrications as it turned out later see chapters IV and III). According to the rules the convenor is the person in charge of the exam in his hospital( St Vincents where my exam is held). Dr MaCkenna would have had to justify before any appeals committee (had my appeal progressed to reach it ,see above) all the mishaps of the exam. Dr McKenna violated the rules to abort any appeal hearing to protect his very own self what come may.These were the reasons I wrote and received letter from the president (see I above) trying to bypass Dr.McKenna.
