Mr. Brian Purcell:

I can get an exact breakdown of all the figures mentioned for the Deputy. The intention is to process these cases as quickly as possible but, as I indicated, decisions can be subject to challenge. Because of the scrupulous care that has to be applied, this can sometimes delay the process. If the Deputy wishes, I will forward to him a complete breakdown of all the statistics, facts and figures for all aspects of the process.
