I understand that a contract extension has not yet been undertaken for Dolcain House. There is an option and it is likely that it will be taken up, but it has not been yet. I would wait until there is certainty about that before communicating it. The Deputy is right that it should be communicated at the same time to all Members of the Oireachtas. I left the Dáil so I did not hear the exact nature of Deputy McDonald's request. I would be happy to talk to Deputy McDonald. When I sought to speak to her last week, I knew she was busy, so I spoke to a member of her staff. I am happy to speak to her and go from there.
