Mr. Niall Byrne:

We work on this constantly, including with our contracted provider, to ensure that we are getting the best service we can from the people we are paying for, they are available and deployed properly, they are answering phones, they are working through email inboxes, and members of the public who are trying to contact the RTB through those channels are receiving responses from us. There are still people who are struggling to get through to us, which is not acceptable. We have put in place various channels. For example, there is a special email channel for agents to avoid them having to contact us through the same telephone lines. We are doing a great deal of work on this. It has still not produced the breakthrough in performance that we are looking for, but that continues to be the case-----
