Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. In his answer to my colleague, he mentioned the GRO and that there have been, I believe, 1,800 applications over the past 24 hours. Does he have the confidence and assurance that GRO will be able to process that volume of applications? If he has any concerns, will he put in place additional staff to service the demand?
