Mr. Tadhg Daly:
That is the Deputy's word. It is not necessarily about profit per se, but people make a profit. I do not think it is a dirty word, but it is important that the service being provided be sustainable. In the Deputy's own words, 80% of the service is being provided by the private sector. It is a key feature of the regulatory environment. In essence, all of our members provide a home from home for 50 or 60 people. We want to ensure the sustainability of that service.
