Mr. Noel Carroll:

I can deal with that question. Obviously, within the aforementioned 146 cases we have some applications that have only recently been received. We also have some on which people have not given us the full information or in which they have not carried out a building condition assessment. Then there are those to which the Acting Chairman referred, namely, the practicable options where, as indicated, we are dealing with the builders and trying to get agreements to include them. In some such instances there are legal actions in place and while the Act allows for the deferral of these applications until some time in the future when the legal actions are completed, given how long they have taken thus far, we are trying to steer a middle route, whereby we will come to an agreement with the builder and can move on.
