One example I am very keen on, and which I have mentioned before, is that the Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence was very clear in a back and forth with me in the Chamber during the legislative process, that six years was not a target for somebody in a PIA but a maximum. The example I used was of a lady in Wicklow town. The Minister agreed that there was no public benefit in a six-year process and in that situation a three-year process would have been appropriate. Will Mr. O’Connor ensure that whatever examples the service produces reflect the debate that was had in the Oireachtas, because that example is very important? When I hear people talk about the time all I hear is six years. I do not hear them say "up to six years".

The Minister was very clear that it was up to six years. Can Mr. O'Connor ensure this is included and reflected?
