I agree. Local authorities are there to enforce planning conditions. If the statement that it does not require planning permission is based on the false information that it was previously a guesthouse, that needs to be rectified. Can we come back to that next week? We are deviating from the agenda. I take on board the Deputy's points. I do not know the exact location of the house. It has come up and I have been following the correspondence. It is clear there are problems. There are supposed to be inspections done for the welfare and treatment of the residents. The Deputy has raised a number of issues. Those types of issues can be raised directly with the Department. In the context of the issues around planning and the fire certificate, there can be no deviation. One certainly cannot deviate from a fire certificate. The Deputy has raised the issue consistently and she is concerned about it.
