Mr. John Twomey:

We have issued a further 3,500 letters. We have succeeded in processing them through the courts and getting them to a scheduling stage in the courts. To go back to the position before that, when we issued the 12,000 letters, almost 5,000 letters were returned unserved. It is was quite an intensive process.
