I have a supplementary question about the whole debate around a ban on evictions. I am not asking for a comment on that issue. We say that our numbers went down during the pandemic but what has often been lost as part of the debate is that we did not have students at college at that time. Much of our stock was, therefore, able to be accessed. In my own county of Waterford, in particular, student stock was taken up as long-term stock. Was that situation reflected in Dublin? That stock is now taken up by students.
