I cannot answer that. I will certainly clarify that point. On the Galway issue, the Deputy brought this up recently in the House and asked for the report to be published. We have gotten a report, which we have just received, as the Deputy will appreciate. She will appreciate that we need to give it proper due consideration. We have just received it. We are going to go through it in depth. The Minister met with the Simon Community in Galway just this Monday. It is something we are very conscious of. It is important that if we get a report we give it due consideration at both ministerial and departmental level. It was hugely important to us that we would have that report for the Deputy today. Once we have gone through the report - we have just received it - we will get it to her as quickly as possible but she will appreciate that we have to go through it forensically as a Department. Part of that will involve us engaging with the task force, the chair and the members and then we will get the report to the Deputy as quickly as possible. We would then very much welcome her observations and comments on same.
