That is not the point. The point is I can give Ms O'Donoghue specific cases. Deputy Deasy said earlier on that he would give her specific cases. I do not want to deal with specific cases. I want Ms O'Donoghue to understand that what I am telling her happens through my constituency office. Other members can tell her whether or not it happens through theirs, but that has been my experience. As a result, I would suggest to Ms O'Donoghue that this message of being flexible and helping those to stay in the accommodation they have, if the reasons are reasonable, does not happen right around the country in the way she has explained.
