On accommodation costs, people go to different parts of the country and are affected by costs. A large proportion of the hotel beds in Clare are not available to tourists at present. It has to be a Government priority to provide alternative accommodation for the people who, through no fault of their own, are in those beds now. If that does not happen and there is a shortage of hotel beds, which will drive up the cost of the existing beds, will it affect tourism in the long term?

I have another question. Mr. O'Leary talked a lot about sustainable aviation fuel. Has he any realistic hope for hydrogen? Mr. Elon Musk has said "No" but he says many things.
