Mr. John McCarthy:

That is where we would be looking at primarily but not exclusively. For example, one of the family hubs that is in operation is in Athy, County Kildare. It is really where it makes sense from a local authority's perspective in terms of the homeless situation that they are dealing with. The bulk of what is going to come on-stream with the additional funding is going to be in Dublin and the other main centres. The Minister is engaged in a process with the four Dublin local authorities to try to nail that quantity but we are talking about hundreds of additional family hub accommodation centres in Dublin.
