I understand from the ESB that they have received applications from two of the individuals concerned. The board have no record of an application from the third individual.
The two applications which were received by the board are being costed and processed at present. When this is completed, they will be submitted to my Department for approval.
The Deputy will appreciate that until the applications have been received in my Department I will not be in a position to say what the outcome will be.
All applications are processed as quickly as possible and all applicants are informed of the outcome by the ESB without undue delay.
