The information I have would suggest that at the end of August, 43% of all applicants were waiting longer than ten weeks. I advise that in the future, in the context of this report, the number is given as a total number of applicants. The SLA number according to test centre is well and good, and I accept that is the methodology. However, it could be interpreted by some people that we would expect the same level and no variation in test centres across the country. It would be useful when we correspond again to know the overall proportion of applicants waiting for a test who have been waiting for longer than the average SLA. The average is only one figure and I would prefer to see some variation in that regard. I thank Mr. Walsh for his answers.

I will come to An Garda Síochána next. How many checkpoints on average are completed across the country every week?
