It is interesting that figures that my colleague, Deputy Doherty, received from the Department on 9 December 2021 show that as of 8 December, 4,443 complaints were open and had yet to be resolved, with 1,982 still open despite being received more than a year previously. There are concerns regarding the capacity and resourcing of the office to get through its caseload. Given the figures the Department furnished to my colleague, Deputy Doherty, is the Minister concerned and has he spoken to the FSPO in regard to it? How does the Minister reconcile the caseload with the reduction in funding for the FSPO, as outlined in Vote 7?
