What Ms Murphy has described is what I hear from constituents who come to me looking for health and support. Ms Murphy mentioned the review of the adaptation grants. We will all make strong submissions on that. Ms Lally discussed the eight houses the Irish Wheelchair Association built in Belmullet. Should it be a benchmark for all local authorities to develop similar housing programmes? It would depend on the size of the local authority and the number of people looking for this type of housing. Listening to Ms Lally describe it, the model seems to be very successful. Is it the model that should be rolled out? Were there additional costs to building the houses? If so, how much more of a percentage did it cost compared with building eight standard houses, for want of a description?
