The authority that is closing Owenacurra is using the commission's report. It is worrying that Mr. Farrelly said the commission writes hundreds of reports. Here is a report that is being used in a very specific way, and it is quite important that the commission takes ownership of the way its reports are being used if it is putting hundreds of them out into the world every year. We are being told at committee that a congregated setting is being closed, and the manner in which it is being closed is having a detrimental impact on the lives of people in a very real way, because of the commission's report. Is that not the case?
