Ms Emma Reeves:

The PRA deals with a large number of applications for registration every year. In 2020, as I said, that intake was about 200,000. All applications will be dealt with as they are received. The PRA is making efforts to reduce the arrears, and, certainly, the Deputy is right that the period after Covid will make that more straightforward.

As for cost, Táilte Éireann will have its own Vote. There are no plans yet for that Vote to be established because the organisation needs to be established before the Vote is ready. That will be next year, and work is under way in preparing for that.

Finally, no, I have not given any consideration to whether the PRSA should have been included in this organisation. We are satisfied that the three organisations included are the right ones.
