Mr. Fergal Conroy:

There is no medical at the moment, no. It is probably something that should be in place down the road, depending on the age profile of applicants.

There have been a lot of numbers on paper, and I can vouch for the numbers I have seen through the years. I was in Roscommon for a reasonably short period before returning to Offaly. It was the same thing. We had a lot of people on paper. With the new system coming in, that will be more streamlined in the future. It will be better for the organisation in the long term.
