Ms Jackie Harrington:

That is the legal requirement but the general policy of the Department has been to be on the list in the area in which they reside. It provides benefit for the individuals in that the local authority is aware of them and their needs. I ask again that the Deputy would bring to us any cases where he feels there is undue hardship or the Department is refusing point blank on that basis. We will review them. As Mr. O'Rourke said, that should not be the case.
