Does Mr. Brady or Ms Cusack want to comment on the question of how challenging it was to adapt the library? I am very interested in it. If it can be done in Limerick, why can we not do it anywhere else around the country? Most fairly large towns have libraries and while I acknowledge they are being used by people, the services can be improved. There did not seem to be an awful lot of funding available, but I note that it has been done in Limerick in a short period of time. In fairness, in respect of education and training, I did not know that there was a degree available in it either. I am interested in the challenges in making libraries more autism-friendly. What were the challenges? Secondly, was there resistance to change when the council tried to adapt the building, or did it go smoothly?
