Mr. Niall Cody:

Yes, 1158. I have those figures for 2016, 2017 and 2018. So far in 2018, and this surprises me, we have 15 investigations, 17 audits, 17 profile interviews, 105 aspect queries, and 150 appraisals. We are doing a re-aligning of how we do some of our work in the area because of maximising the use of data analytics.
