Mr. Vivian Geiran:
Fundamentally, they would have been the same types of service, but we would have been able to offer them at an expanded location and with a greater degree of co-location. In terms of the Bridge Project and other projects like it operating on a multi-agency basis, the more that various services can be co-located, the better. Wolfe Tone Street would have given us a better co-location possibility. As well as providing services for adults, we planned to have a specific unit for younger people under the Children Act.
