I thank Ms McArdle. I only have about 30 seconds left and I want to ask the Department one more question. I am terribly sorry to interrupt. As I understand it, there have not been new cases presenting to Ireland at the rate there had been. What steps is the Department taking to use what might be described as a lull or a pause in new applications to try to expedite the processing of existing applications or has the Department been hampered in that way because of the courts being limited in their sittings?
