Shane Cassells: I welcome the witnesses to the meeting. Mr. Feeney commented that they are the leading print model at the local level. A former boss of mine, Mr. Frank Mulrennan, from Local Ireland, might disagree with him. He owns my local newspaper as well so I will give him a plug.

Mr. O'Mara Walsh touched on it, saying Kerry is at 35% and Donegal is at 50%. The witnesses talked about solutions by Government. By March next year, the more than 60,000 people will not be housed in their entirety, so the facility of...
