I welcome what Ms Kelly said earlier - we said it last week as well - and what Mr. O'Sullivan brought up there around different types of accommodation. They are like chalets. That is what we would call the sort of accommodation that we have seen lately in Ireland. It is important that we give people choices. Many members of our community, as Ms Kelly said, would not live in a mansion on a hill and would like to live in a trailer in a halting site. It is about that choice of accommodation. It is important that people have that choice.

On what Ms O'Donoghue said, does it need to be scrapped? This is the first time that question has arisen at this committee. It is question we will put to MABS next week. It is a wider question around the review as well. It is important. Does Ms O'Shea want to add something?
