Perhaps the remainder of the written reply will go some way towards explaining the technical and staff issues and information technology requirements involved in this matter.

By the end of October, the NSAI expects to operate consistently to the two weeks target and sustain it thereafter with the exception of the surge in new certification applications in January and February to which I referred.

I remind industry to take note of all the technical information required in the application form and ensure forms are complete before submission to the NSAI. Otherwise they will be queried and delays will ensue.

I accept the points Deputy Aylward has made and give an undertaking to raise them with the Minister.
