I thank the Deputy. I speak to the chief executive of Fingal County Council very frequently, so I will speak to him about it the next time we have an engagement, which will be shortly.
I have not made a decision yet as to whether bedsits are coming back.
On the issue of senior citizens complexes and conversions for disabilities and extensions for overcrowding, I have just announced an additional €12 million for that for local authorities. I am meeting with the Simon Community shortly to look at a couple of units that it has that might prove to be a very good model to roll out elsewhere.
