I do not wish to dwell on this but there is frustration when you are trying to do the right thing. As Ms O'Reilly said, it is not about finger-pointing, but surely somebody has to take responsibility. That centre was fully integrated within a town where the people living in the centre could walk into the town. There was a doctor across the road in the community hospital. The dentist, the Garda barracks and Market Square were in close proximity. The people were taken out of that environment and moved up to what was once known as the old lunatic asylum, in Sarsfield Court, 7 or 8 miles away, with no access to anything. That is my issue. You can imagine the difficulties caused by this for a person who has mental health issues or is elderly. Such people have been in an integrated environment in the town and suddenly it is all taken away but they are told things are going to be okay. That is surely an injustice to the people involved.
