Mr. Jer Bergin:
We are looking at it in the context of the previous system where pendants were available and what other technologies are available now for vulnerable people identified by local communities and text alert groups. We are examining the issue of funding. I acknowledge that the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government has put seed funding of €50,000 into a text alert group and a community group in our area for cameras. Those initiatives help us to work with people who want to help themselves. That is where we are coming from.
