Mr. John McKeon:
About three quarters are women and children and about 5% to 6% are of pension age. About 14% are children and about 45% are of working age. Those figures are for females but it might be better if I give the total figures. About 27% or 28% are children, about 66% are of working age and about 6% are pensioners, which should come to 99% or 100% if I have done my sums right.
