Mr. Michael Mulloy:

I do not have that figure, but there are renewals applied for all the time. There is quite a backlog. As a result of Deputy Mac Lochlainn's PQ, we know 295 applications are being delayed by the lack of appropriate assessments, AAs, which are determined by the Marine Institute. Without question the Marine Institute needs to be better resourced in order to deal with these appropriate assessments. It is a key issue.
