Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

After the closure of the programme, either this day last year or yesterday last year, arrangements were put in place for the orderly winding down. These arrangements were finalised last month and are now being implemented. The independent evaluation committee has the people who assess the applications. They are committed to exploring new ways of potentially expediting what is on hand because a significant volume is on hand. All IIP stakeholders have been notified at this stage of the timescales. It varies depending on the type of application it is and the amount of information we have. Some are in a state that can be decided and some have been decided. We will need much more information for others and there is a process of engagement with the stakeholders.
