I think 75 was the figure referred to in the reply. We must do this in a number of ways. I have been liaising strongly with the local authorities as I go around the country visiting sites. There is a very significant capital programme in Cork that I expect and hope to see commence this year. I have been down there on the ground trying to progress the programme. I have carried it forward through all local authorities as much as I can but it is a significant challenge. I must be honest about that. As we work through the expert group, we will hopefully have significant changes in how we go about delivering Traveller accommodation through the programme of work the group has set out. It will be a challenge but that will not be for the want of energy and commitment on my part as I try to drive this forward.
