   This is an application by O�Keefe (the Applicant) for reconsideration of a decision of an oral hearing panel dated 9 November 2020 not to direct release or recommend progression to open conditions.
   Rule 28(1) of the Parole Board Rules 2019 provides that applications for reconsideration may be made in eligible cases either on the basis (a) that the decision is irrational and/or (b) that it is procedurally unfair.
   I have considered the application on the papers. These are the dossier amounting to 806 pages, the decision letter, the written representations on behalf of the Applicant, dated 8 December 2020, the written representations on behalf of the Secretary of State, dated 16 December 2020 and the reply to those representations, dated 21 December 2020.
   On 1 February 2010, the Applicant who was then aged 22, was sentenced to an indeterminate sentence of imprisonment for public protection with a minimum tariff of 4 years (less time spent on remand) for offences of rape, unlawful wounding and having a dangerous dog. The minimum tariff expired on the 1 November 2012.
   The Applicant has previous convictions included robbery when he was aged 12 and acquisitive offences to fund a drug habit.
