Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As the Deputy will recall, for many years before he came into the Oireachtas, a league table was published each year indicating which local authorities and VECs were in front with their payments. Now, at least, we have one central authority. I agree that it has had initial teething problems, but these are being rectified with the addition of 40 extra staff. I hope the lesson learned is that while it is necessary to have adequate staff, it is also necessary for applications to be as complete as possible. We should not have a situation in which 40% are incomplete and cannot be concluded.
