According to the HSE, we have 1,128 disabled people under the age of 65 years who living in nursing homes and whose housing needs are not being met. These amendments are seeking to address this in terms of planning. Effectively, the response is that we have some wording in the Bill, which has been in legislation since 2000, regarding objectives relating to public places. That is the level of response to what has happened since then and to the UNCRPD. I will be pressing the amendment.
