Deputy McGrath referred to downsizing for the elderly. We have seen some communal living projects run by organisations like Sue Ryder Ireland. These projects allowed people to downsize or purchase a one- or two-bedroom apartment but we do not see enough of them. I do not think there are in the midlands. That would free up a lot of family homes in rural areas People would like to come into that setting where they would have the support of their communal living. Are there any plans to look at expanding that or working with the likes of Sue Ryder Ireland or other organisations that do that to deliver more of them around the country?
