It is key. Whatever the Government allocates in the context of what it thought would be lost to the Exchequer on one side, that theoretical pool of money must be driven back in.
The issue of liquidity was touched on. Paul Gallagher was before the committee before the move to level 5. He discussed this briefly with me. He said hotels would not disclose that they are having liquidity issues. He talked about the forecast numbers for November. We are talking about an occupancy of 4%, which would equate to nearly 60,000 empty bedrooms during the month. Do the witnesses have figures yet for empty bedrooms during the month of November?
