Can Mr. O'Brien provide this committee with any details of that, if that is what the representatives of that organisation are claiming? I understand they say their estimation of the cost of providing the service for Grace would have been €100,000. They were told by the HSE that it would be €50,000. We need to bear in mind that this is for one-on-one support for someone who has been neglected by the State in the eyes of many people. The representatives of the organisation were then told that they needed to fund-raise to cover the additional costs. Does Mr. O'Brien accept that this would be a difficult situation for the service provider as well as being very unfair given the history of this issue?
