Mr. Jim Meade:
It is a combination of things. I would not say we have an array of lifts that are out of order. Historically, that was the case. In recent years, we have had a complete programme of replacing and refitting all our lifts.
We did have an element of vandalism but it was only a small element. We put a lift call in place where a shutter comes down in front of the lift. If someone wants to use a lift, they press a call button. The call goes back to Howth Junction, where we have our security facility, and they can see it is not anybody messing but it is somebody who needs to use the lift. The shutter opens to the lift. There is one lift in Clongriffin that is not ours at all. It is a privately owned lift. We are in discussions.
