Ms Andrea Feeney:

The high point has probably been 4,000, to be honest. I am trying to think of the figures from 2013. I think it might have been 3,900; it has gone down. The number of candidates has gone up. We have been doing things, however. I mentioned to Senator Dolan earlier about using technology to ensure we are able to get marking done. Even in 2019 and up to that year, we had put in place remedial measures to get the marking done within the time window. It is not, therefore, a new phenomenon. It is just that there has been a step change this year, and I think there is a Covid impact.
