The Deputy will appreciate it is a difficult time. Our particular concern is for the more than 1,000 users of the Peter McVerry Trust, along with the more than 600 employees and the more than 600 people on the housing first scheme. The trust received €1.1 million on 4 December from the DRHE. It will receive a further €2.8 million by the end of December. It is then required to provide a restructuring plan by the end of January. Ultimately, this is about ensuring that the services are kept in place for service users of the trust, employees and people across the spectrum. That is the up-to-date position as I can provide it.
