I thank the Chairman. I thank Ms Justice Ring for coming before the committee today and for her presentation. I have two brief questions. First, on the 20% of complaints about which we spoke, has that percentage increased in recent years or has it been a consistent percentage during the ten years of GSOC?

Second, on the extra resources Ms Justice Ring would require, if extra resources were allocated, would they be directed towards hiring more staff to deal with the complaints or would they be directed towards staff to increase the accessibility of GSOC, for example, the public engagement my colleague, Senator Ó Donnghaile, spoke about, taking into account the 12-month timeframe within which members of the public may make complaints?
