I have a question for Mr. Allen or Ms Molloy about Housing First. Obviously there is a Housing First policy, whether that is with the Peter McVerry Trust or with Focus Ireland. Specifically on the key worker and the relationship with the Housing First client, who is it that makes the decision when there is no longer a need for a key worker to work with the person? Is that decision made by the key worker or are the two people brought into Housing First, Focus Ireland, or the Peter McVerry Trust for an analysis of where the person is and if he or she can move on? This is probably a little bit off the question that we are dealing with here. This is about contact with the individual Traveller.
