Mr. Cormac O'Rourke:

I agree that having a disability advocate at board level would be helpful, which was the case in TII. Mr. Des Kenny added immensely in delivering his expertise both in design but also bringing the awareness of disability to the other board members.

In terms of a disability officer, let us come back to the Deputy on that. Clearly, how we are going to address this is a very important issue. I do not know off the top of my head what the appropriate percentage of our stock is that should be disability enabled. The building regulations are there to enable wheelchair access and other disability-friendly designs. They are supposed to be for all buildings. It is not just about tailored support of units for those with disabilities. It is actually allowing people with disabilities to access all buildings that we produce.

It is something we should take away and come back to the Deputy in a more considered way. I am not sure to what extent either the board or indeed the management have looked at it. Let us come back to him in a more considered way and hopefully that will help alleviate his concerns. His point is very well made, however.
