Mr. John McKeon:
Certainly, that is something we are very conscious of. We have taken a view that, as a minimum, we need a full-time presence of community welfare service staff in our 58 Intreo centres. I will use the example of the county I am most familiar with. Everyone in Longford knows that if they go into Longford Intreo centre, there will be a community welfare officer.
