Some of the relatives have been in contact with members and we have had chats with them, and so forth. Obviously, the 15 residents have been there, some for a very long time, but they cannot be on these calls. What are their thoughts on the issue of Owenacurra closing down? At the end of the day, that is the important voice in all of this debate. Has the HSE talked to the residents about the fact that the facility is going to close in the very near future and that this is the alternative? What do the residents think about the decision to close Owenacurra?
