Mr. Conlan keeps knocking himself. We now have 846 staff. There is a huge issue from the point of view of value from money. That is my problem. We have an online system on which the Department has spent €13 million and it deals with 60% of the passports. The office has double the number of staff it had ten years ago to deal with half the amount of paper applications and we cannot get them out. Am I correct? Is there something wrong with what I am saying?
