Most of the rooms in St. Stephen's Hospital do not comply with the room sizes that the commission is implying are unfit for purpose in Owenacurra. There is no consistency. In its discussion of St. Stephen's Hospital, the commission rarely referred to the fact that residents are sharing rooms. We know that some of the residents from Owenacurra have been moved not just to other facilities, but also to nursing homes where they are sharing rooms. Does the commission take the point that there is inconsistency there?
