All right. It is amazing. The Land Development Agency was in here last week and told me it was only in planning and that there was no house delivered under universal design. That is neither here nor there. It is part of the planning now.
Returning to Ms Finney, when Deputy McGrath was asking a question earlier she referenced exiting homelessness into more long-term arrangements. Will she define what a long-term arrangement is? What is the period? In Galway county I do not have a hub. I do not have that space. I would say a lot of the rural counties do not have hubs. I am just trying to figure out what "long-term" means. It is not that we want to create hubs or anything like that, but should we have hubs that are more appropriate settings than relying on bed and breakfasts all the time?
