Like my colleagues, I wish Mr. O'Leary well in his new role. As he mentiioned, he has a challenging few years ahead. I have a number of questions which follow on those of my colleagues.

I have just looked at the annual report for 2015 in which it is outlined that 75% of cases involve general family law and divorce matters. Asylum cases account for 10% of the total, while 5% involve children and other civil matters, 10%. Linked with the general financial eligibility criteria, do the percentages, by case type, as outlined in the annual report, refer to the numbers of applications before they are triaged by the board or the applications that have passed through the initial process?
