Ms Josephine Feehily:

I have a number but I have to put 16 different caveats on it. I am sorry about that but that is where we are in the project. Two days ago, approximately 75,000 cases had filed using the "I don't have a property PIN tab". The problem about that is that some of them had just lost the form. We have known this from our telephone filing in the past few days. Some of those were on our register.

The Collector-General has approximately 150,000 work items to work through. Some of those are people who filed on the basis that they could not find the form. They filed online and they are on our register, but some are new to our register. Those are the numbers I have but I am not sure what they tell me other than what we know that between the 75,000 and the 150,000 items which Mr. Gladney and his staff must work through, we are quite satisfied that we will get approximately another 100,000 on to the register, which is why I said I saw 100,000 as being at risk.
