It depends very much on their economic circumstances. Most local authorities will consider the income and expenditure of the venue and make a decision on that basis. I agree with the Senator regarding people with disabilities. Only a few weeks ago I opened a project run by people from Mount Eagle Lodge in Tralee. The standard was extraordinary. The parents of these adults with special needs were also present and the atmosphere was something to savour. It was a completely different feeling from what I have experienced anywhere else over the past six months. It meant so much to the parents that their children could achieve. I agree with the Senator's comments and if he has further ideas to promote these projects, I would be interested.
