It could not afford the rent. It was in the city centre and then moved to Dundrum or someplace way outside the city centre. It gets its income from the HSE or the Department of Health. This is why I am talking about an interdepartmental group. I do not expect the Department of Education, which has a totally different remit, to pay the rent for some of these organisations but they feel they are continuously fighting and an interdepartmental group might solve many of their issues. They feel they are going from one organisation, Department or agency to another. It frustrates them. An interdepartmental agency led by senior people from each Department would assist and go a long way to solving some problems they have.

I am just looking at the notes from yesterday. Does Deputy Clarke have anything else to say?
