The Deputy has gone over time. She raised a number of issues, particularly about priority 1 cases. A review is under way, but there are live applications in with the county council and will be on the list ahead of others. The scheme has worked well to date, but it was correct to point out that affordability had become an issue in the past two years. Will the witnesses revert to Deputy Munster on the specific case in Louth she raised? Will they also liaise with the county manager to try to get on top of the situation? Is all of the money from last year gone? Can something be done for these critical priority 1 cases? Will the witnesses revert to the Deputy within the next fortnight, please, given the urgency?
