That now appears to be the situation. We are not dealing with hundreds of cases. One of the documents Mr. O'Callaghan submitted to the committee deals with the number of appeals handled by the Appeals Commissioners. The yearly statistics for the years from 2010 to 2014 show that between 361 and 488 requests for hearing were received by the Appeals Commissioners and the appeals heard in those years dealt with between 329 and 1,089 issues. As that covers the five years from 2010 and 2014, with 488 requests it indicates approximately 100 per annum.
