I can appreciate the upset that can be caused in a local community if the last hotel in the town is an active hotel and it is taken over for whatever reason outside of being in hospitality sector but the policy, and I have continued this, is that we do not take over the last hotel in the town. The Cathaoirleach's concern is about the ones that were taken in the past. I do not want to be in the business of being a landlord. I want to get out of the accommodation business. Hopefully, when the Ukraine numbers decline, if we can get proper control over the international protection numbers coming in and get them down and we have a manageable number coming in each year, we will be in a situation whereby with increasing State accommodation we will not find ourselves in a crisis situation of having to get hotels.
