Seán Crowe: I ask Senator Conway to let me chair the meeting. I am making the point that there is a difficulty in a number of centres where there are supports for people who are trying to get rehabilitation; it is not just one. It is wrong to identify one building. If we are talking about going from Heuston Station, we only have to go up the boardwalk. It is all around Dublin. If people open their...
