I thank Deputy Whitmore for raising that. In fact, I have met with CORU three times over the past 18 months to address a number of issues of what we have covered here today.

On the Deputy's primary question about assessment of needs, we have secured €11 million. We will be putting in assessment hubs so that we can clear that backlog as soon as possible.
