St. Brigid's and Carrick-on-Suir have lost out there as well. Are the families who would have used the services provided at St. Brigid's any longer able to care for their sick mother, father, brother or sister? Do they have to travel 40 km to Clogheen? I am from the constituency. I know how far away is Clogheen. I know there is no bus service or public transport. It must be absolutely horrific for families who had people in St. Brigid's to find themselves looking for some place or for someone to carry them 40 km. No provision has been made for that, has it?
