-----is that this is closing the service by stealth. I ask him to take that off the record of this House, because he has absolutely no basis in fact to make that statement. We were exceptionally clear when we made our first statement. We were removed from this building only because it was not safe to be in, either for the clients or my staff. We told Deputy Breathnach at the time that we would continue the service for the seven clients, which we have done. I have detailed to Deputy Breathnach exactly what has happened week-on-week. We told the Deputy at the time that we would start to look for alternative premises, which is exactly what we did do and are doing. I am really not sure what part of that is not clear, but I do not expect Deputy Breathnach, an elected representative from the constituency of Louth, to make erroneous allegations just so that he can put this exchange on Facebook for his constituents. He is better than that. He really is.
