Mr. Shaun Flanagan:

In terms of capacity, we have managed any applications we have received in the Irish language. As with any public service, if a large proportion of people submitted applications as Gaeilge, we would probably be somewhat challenged but would do our best to respond. Currently, the vast majority of people make their applications in English and on the basis of current patterns, we can manage and have sufficient capacity. I do not have the exact number of Irish-language applications that we would have received in the last year.
