I am informed that 185 applications were received under the administrative scheme referred to in the Deputy's question. These applications are currently being processed and I understand that decision letters will issue to the applicants in the near future. At that point a statistical breakdown will be compiled.

It should also be noted that a significant number of cases involving migrant workers who would have been eligible to apply for the scheme had already been dealt with in the months preceding it.
