Yes, and the mobility issue. Mr. Tyndall's predecessor made the finding that the schemes as operating were in breach of the Equal Status Acts because they excluded a body of persons without just grounds. We see that the schemes have been closed to new applicants. Surely we are talking about an inequality there. I am sure that there are people out there who should be in a position to avail of the schemes. With the length of time that has passed, one now finds people who have been discriminated against because they are closed off from the schemes. Is that not a concern of the Ombudsman at this point?
