Mr. Bernard Gloster:

By the end of the first two weeks, which would have been last Friday week, there were just under 4,000 applications to the two statutory authorities, the Adoption Authority of Ireland and us in Tusla. There were 3,939 as of last Friday week, with 2,460 of those to Tusla. Those were a combination of requests for information, requests for tracing and requests for information and tracing.
