Mr. Graham Long:

In terms of the statistics and feedback, I checked this morning whether it had increased in March. So far this month, we have had 60 hits on that web page. It is increasing quite a bit relative to last year and that is a good sign.

I am not aware of any specific feedback on the Committee on Public Petitions or the petitions process. I have not come across any in that context.

In terms of the types of queries, a large part of our business is in the social welfare area and we would expect about 40% of the queries of those who are dropping into our offices to be in the social welfare area. There are also queries on health, housing, employment, money and tax. I am sure it would probably reflect what the committee members see in their own constituency offices in terms of queries around medical cards and issues to do with working time and unfair dismissal and similar matters.

In terms of the process, I had a couple of comments on the form which I would be quite happy to send in. It is not really process related. It is merely on the technicalities of it. I would be quite happy to send that on.
