Deputy Ó Cuív is absolutely right. There are too many disgraceful cases and this is why we are here. There are some great projects and some have been very successful, but some of the sites I have visited are nothing short of disgraceful, and I agree with the Deputy on this. He went through the history of a particular Galway site, which I have also visited. It is a failure - there is no other way to put it - that it has dragged on for so long. I find it hard to believe solutions cannot be found in the city of Galway to find accommodation for people. It is not acceptable and it is something we must deal with.
