Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

I cannot give the Deputy chapter and verse for each individual office. I will work with my officials. I will continue to stress that we need to take action on a range of fronts, as outlined in the answer, to deal with the delays that exist. That can involve the use of technology and staff, etc. I agree with Deputies that it is important for people to get a speedy service from the Department. In general, the Department makes a valiant effort to provide that kind of service.
