Mr. Paul Treyvaud:

The simple answer to the last part of the question is “Yes”. At this stage, we will do anything that helps us to get back open. The Deputy asked what he can do. Let us start with the percentage of revenue. Each year, in the four months of the summer - June, July, August and September - we probably take in 75% to 80% of our revenue. That gets us through October to April. We will not get that this year. We are already down 50% of that 70% to 80%. It will get worse given the number of people who have cancelled hotels, guest houses and restaurants. They say they cannot take the risk of staying in Kerry, much as they would love to, because we still might not be open and, with the greatest respect, they do not want to spend a week in a hotel. They do not want to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner in a hotel. It is great that there are potentially outdoor dining facilities. However, what do we do if it rains?

The money we will be down in our summer season will be a huge issue. I explained back in April and May that this was a major threat.
