Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

I welcome the changes being brought about, as well as the concept of a one-stop-shop, as the Minister has described it. My questions were not about labour relations and IR issues, and I welcome the fact that there is progress. They were more about accommodation. If they are being transferred, has the accommodation been made available? Will it be available by September to ensure that they are in the same building as people who are making applications for social welfare payments? Will there be an advertising campaign on this so that the public know about the change? It is a substantial change, given the fact that many people have been dependent on the community welfare officer system. I hope people will understand what they are entitled to apply for in the future, so that if they are refused at one hatch, they can go to another hatch rather than to another building.
