Mr. Ger Deering:

It is too early for me to say. We are doing an investigation at the moment. What we are hearing anecdotally is that there probably are areas where decisions could be reached more quickly. In addition, there is a three-way interaction, with the Department, the local authorities and the shared centre in Limerick. We will be considering whether there is anything in that process that could happen to make it more accessible, efficient and effective in terms of achieving its aims.
