Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:
As of 24 February, there were 69,361 grant applications, an increase of 20% on last year. When we talk about grant applications, that might be just filling in the initial information and not seeking anything more. Of those, 54,754 are now complete - that is to say, awarded, provisionally awarded or refused.
