The wording, as Ms Porter reads it out, is débhríoch or ambiguous. It seems to be saying 54% of applications but it does not say 58% of appeals. That would bring it to 75% whereas if it is 58%, it has only gone up 4%. It is 8% of appeals, if they were all appealed, but it is only 4% extra in total.
