Brian Stanley: I will make a suggestion. I take the Deputy's point and it is well made. It is a very important local issue whereby 50 children are being supported. The Deputy and Mr. Gloster might have a follow-up engagement around the funding for that centre in Cork, because it is important. That might be the best approach. Is the Deputy happy enough with that?
