The Employment Appeals Tribunal is an independent body under the aegis of my Department. The average waiting period from the time a case is notified to the Tribunal until it is heard in each region is:

County Weeks County Weeks
Cavan 43 Longford 41
Carlow 32 Louth 38
Clare 40 Mayo 40
Cork 58 Meath 38
Donegal 34 Monaghan 22
Dublin 24 Offaly 49
Galway 43 Roscommon 22
Kerry 44 Sligo 48
Kildare 37 Tipperary 51
Kilkenny 40 Waterford 55
Laois 32 Westmeath 39
Leitrim 39 Wexford 48
Limerick 55 Wicklow 38

I understand that the Tribunal is making every effort to reduce this waiting period, including undertaking a concerted programme of targeting areas where delays occur.
