As my time is limited, I will conclude by asking Mr. McCarthy to provide the figures in response to the questions that are outstanding. I am happy to provide him with the questions if he did not catch them all.

My final remark relates to the additional funding for the provision of family hubs. Mr. McCarthy illustrated the cost of hotel accommodation versus family hub accommodation and it is clearly significantly cheaper. He mentioned the capital costs, which is what the €60 million is for. How many of those facilities will be delivered for €60 million? Does Mr. McCarthy have an idea of where they will be located? Are we looking primarily at the major cities, namely, Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway or are there other locations where there is proposed provision?
