Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

It would have slowed down a little this year because community service, in particular, was hit by the pandemic. The nature of the schemes and so forth do not really lend themselves to operation with social distancing, etc. They have had some difficulty this year but, generally speaking, they are relatively efficient and have a relatively good spread around the country in terms of availability.
