Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
If I could make one point in respect of figure 3.3 regarding a quite important distinction. What we have here are dates of payments, not necessarily dates of trips. Consequently, one cannot count the months as though they were each an individual trip. It may have been the case that flights were paid for in one month, perhaps hotels booked in another month and then there may have been payments during a trip. However, there is not sufficient detail to be categorical as to what were the individual trips in that situation.
