Dr. Sinead O'Brien:

I have met with a number of the residents and their families, as has Dr. Ruth Collins, clinical director, with the clinical team. Yes, the residents expressed shock initially, when the announcement was made. We have had a series of meetings with the families and there are very constructive meetings around discussing the real options in terms of alternative accommodation and the support services that will be in place for each of the individuals, based on their assessed needs. That is an ongoing process. I accept that the announcement was not an expected announcement, and the families and the residents have been working very constructively with the team in terms of finding the best solution to meet the assessed needs of each individual.
