Can I suggest that local public representatives and local authorities are consulted regarding where they are provided? I know Mr. McCarthy is involved with this because it came up at a meeting of Laois County Council but it would be useful for local councillors to have a briefing on it as well. In terms of medium and long-term planning, we may be able to find a follow-on use for many of these homes and people would see that as a benefit. We will take a short break and will resume in ten minutes.
