There are two issues here, namely, value for the customer and protecting the industry. There were rows about all of that this year but I acknowledge what Mr. O'Mara Walsh is saying. I have a question for Mr. Fenn and Ms Campbell, which Mr. Kelly touched on. If two or three star hotels are prepared to sign those contracts because they represent guaranteed income in towns and areas which, going back to the other point, would not be hot spots of tourism for eight or nine months of the year, is there a sense among members of the Irish Hotels Federation that they are prepared to go with these contracts in the long term?
