-----and I was absolutely shocked. Somebody I know personally originally brought the issue of Changing Places to me back in October 2020. He told they sometimes decide not to go out as a family because there are no Changing Places facilities. That was absolutely shocking to me. He was in Bray with me and I asked him where the nearest facility was. He said there is not one. It is unbelievable. I hope we are seeing progress in that regard.

What is Mr. Dolan's sense of the progress on that? I think we need to apply the same speed to try to deal with the Part M issue. Ms Lally said this has to be in the regulations. This cannot be requesting that a certain developer or local authority go with UD+ or UD++. We need to have it set out in legislation. I think we have covered it quite well at committee today. Mr. Dolan wanted to come back in.
