I would like to follow up on a number of issues with Mr. O'Neill before letting Deputy O'Dea back in. He gave figures for capacity versus lack of referrals for Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown. Deputy Brady asked him to make figures available for other areas. Second, he indicated in a previous reply that some of the criteria to measure performance were not fit for purpose. I do not know whether he has a document in this regard. Third, the referral figures for Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown were shocking. I do not know if that is typical of all areas but are there areas in which schemes are in jeopardy? There must be a point in time when the number of referrals is so low that the scheme should cease. Is that a concern?
