There has been a previous concern. I noticed that in County Kerry that the Cois na Féile service has been closed down, which is a big disappointment for the families who used the facility. A concern had been flagged by HIQA that its enforcement powers were too blunt, that the introduction of compliance notices would be a welcome step so that the nuclear option of closure would not have to be flagged and that a more graduated report may be necessary. We may come back to that issue on Report Stage.
