This particular development involves, as I said, 569 modular homes. They would be modular homes of 33 sq. m. They are down as a emergency temporary accommodation campsite. Obviously, they will be modular homes such as bedsits. How would the White Paper and the directive to move away from emergency accommodation and direct provision centres marry with such a development? It is over a five-year period but it could be extended. Mr. McCarthy stated the Department is determined to move away from that type of accommodation. How would something like that marry with the Department's move?
