Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

My understanding from the evidence presented last week was that they were speaking about the time that elapses between the applicant for the slides issuing instructions, that these are the persons who are to receive the slides. They may be measuring two different things. An approach may have been made in April or May but, in clarifying the information the applicant needed to supply, they were not in a position to supply the slides until they got all the information. It may be down to a definition of what is being measured that may be the explanation. I understand the difficulty. If somebody makes a request, that should be the starting point of the clock. That would be my argument.
