Mr. Brian Purcell:
When we are closer to being able to say when direct provision may end and have a close timeframe for that, we will be able to do the detailed planning on that quickly. When this issue came to the Department first, we had to move extremely quickly to deal with it. This is not something that will require a two-year planning process. When we arrive at a point when we can see this will happen soon or that we will be in a position to move on it, we will start looking at the detailed planning aspects of it.
