Thanks very much. Those were important points, not just about the timeframe, but about the effect on the whole family. It affects siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and everyone. People are affected differently. Similar to what Senator Clonan said, people do not know when it will hit them. They might think they are doing fine. Then, all of a sudden, they are not. People listening in who are going through this now know that Féileacáin is available. I am very aware of the work it does.
