I will ask a different question. Mr. Kelly expects the domestic tourism season to extend into September. There are a number of tourism sites right across the entire mid-west, not just Clare, that will not open at all this year. They include Dunguaire Castle, Craggaunowen and Knappogue Castle. Bunratty Castle and King John’s Castle in Limerick are going to close at the end of August. Does Mr. Kelly view that as an opportunity forgone to attract tourists to the sites and the region in which they offer an attraction?
