Before we move on, I would say it is fortunate that both the Department and Fáilte Ireland are here together. Only a couple of weeks ago, Fáilte Ireland, the Irish Hotels Federation and other representatives from tourism were here warning vigorously about where we stand. The percentages were broken down by county of hotel beds being taken out of the system by one Department and reference was made to the impact that is going to have on domestic tourism in particular. With the analysis of 12,000, where is it likely to hit?. We have a very big issues there as I am sure Mr. O'Shea will accept.
