When the outbreak occurred in Cahersiveen, an offer was put to the PRO, who contacts the local elected representatives, of other accommodation in a holiday village in the county. That would have been own-door accommodation. Two of the cottages were actually offered for free. In an effort to take some families out of the Skellig Star, an offer was made. That was turned down by the Department. Is that correct and, if so, could Ms Buckley indicate why it was turned down?
