Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

I will ask Mr. O'Sullivan to come in. We obviously had a number in place when the accelerated process was introduced. Botswana and Algeria have just recently been added. I can run the Cathaoirleach through the numbers if that is of interest. The numbers of applications from the top safe country volume, if you like, in 2022 was 3,402. The top safe country volume in 2023 was 1,766. It is, therefore, a very substantial reduction against 2022.
