We have an identical problem in Dún Laoghaire. It is a large constituency but it has no refuge service. We have gone through the process exactly as described by the Minister. The difficulty we have reached is to find suitable accommodation that is available. As Deputy Smyth said, it is a subtle and nuanced task because not all accommodation is suitable. One needs accommodation that is safe and geographically subtle because people are at risk. In addition, any accommodation needs to be imbedded in the community in a subtle way. One can have multiple sites that are gently integrated into a community as opposed to something too obvious. The process is very difficult and it is certainly something that we would strongly welcome in Dún Laoghaire, as part of the accommodation review.
