Before that happens, I will speak to the point a little more. We have heard in the case of these sections of the community - I only say sections because it is not reflective of all of the community - things being cited such as medical, education and childcare issues as reasons for non-suitability. Let us say there is engagement with the CEO in Roscommon, the director of housing in that area or the local government management association nationwide and that they say yes, that they do fit into the suitability criteria and that the Department is able to come out, front and centre, before the protests happen in the first instance. I am interested in hearing about that matter.
