So that leaves 7,357 applications and 391 applications, as the numbers in process and 2,164 applications have been awarded a grant but have yet to be paid. Some 391 grants are in the process of being awarded, 4,176 have returned incomplete information and 3,181 have not responded to requests for supplementary information. In total that comes to 9,912, which is just short of 10,000 which is about 15% of the total applications. Is Mr. Ó Foghlú satisfied that after six months,15% of live applications are still due to be paid? I am excluding the 6,859 people who have not responded.
