I suppose that, in turn, will push up the price further for those last few remaining rooms that Mr. Fenn was talking about. Turning to Mr. Fenn, I ask him for one final comment. In his presentation, he talked about spiralling operational costs. We accept this is happening throughout the country and it is not unique to Dublin, Galway, Cork or the big urban areas. There has been an increase in prices of 8% in energy, 18% in food and beverages, 30% in linen services and 20% in insurance. What would Mr. Fenn have to say about the fact that prices in Cavan and Monaghan will still be very competitive, even with all those increases?
