I thank the Deputy for his engagement, the Drogheda Deputies for theirs and all the Louth Deputies on this. There was communication with them and with the local authority.

Absolutely, however, we need to make sure we have the supports in place for a significant number of vulnerable people in family groups who will be using the D Hotel as their accommodation. Our Department will work, for example, with the Department of Education and local education and training board through the REALT system in the provision of education supports. I will be meeting with people in the business improvement district and chambers of commerce to understand their wider concerns on economic issues. We will filter that back into the work our Department does.
