I will follow that line of questioning on mediation and adjudication. Mr. Byrne said the average time currently is nine weeks for mediation and 20 weeks for adjudication. If he could stop and start again, what would be the optimum time that he would envisage as appropriate for the mediation process and the adjudication process? I appreciate that the RTB is where it is but I am just trying to understand in my head what in an ideal world - which I appreciate we are not in - the ideal timeframe would be for both of those.
