Ms Katherine Licken:
As Mr. Ó Lionáin said, we hope that the timeline is shorter than the previous one. Within that, applicants were given a second chance. Approximately 50% of them availed of that chance. It was a significant additional piece of work that we had to do, but we have still managed to keep the timelines shorter than they were previously.
