Mr. Bernard Gloster:

To be fair to the Deputy he did raise this with me along with the Owenacurra Centre. I hope we have made progress with the Owenacurra Centre. I know it is slow, but it is gone to planning. I did say we would build on the site to keep it in the town. We have four residents in a house and we have four more moving into a house before the end of this year. It is a lot slower than I wanted. There was flood impact on the site. There is planning submitted, with money behind it, for a new 15-bed community residence there and I am looking forward to it. My staff, professionals, the estate people, and everybody tell me the site in Glanmire can be de-institutionalised in the way it is proposed to be configured. There are wider council plans around bus routes and access. I am told the style of the design can be completely de-institutionalised from what people might perceive it is going to be. It is five-by-ten units. I hear the Deputy's concern. I have asked, and will continue to ask, but I have a lot of people telling me the opposite.
