Mr. Pat Smyth:
The staff have been allocated to other services in the domestic and gender-based violence sector. They are either working in other units or services. We have been working with Fórsa on an agreement as to what happens with the opening of the unit.
As I said, there was a proposal. Rathmines refuge, ten years ago, was run through a voluntary agency and then came into the ownership, for want of a better word, of the HSE around 2007 or 2008. One of the proposals was that a funded agency would again operate that agency and that is being worked through.
