I have to say, Chairman, I seriously beg to differ with the figures that were mentioned here, which say that, most of the time, only 9% of our hotels involved with refugees and asylum seekers. That is totally incorrect. The figure was 36%. I do not know where Ms McGuire got her figures. I know someone gave them to her but that is not what the reality was down in Kerry when the Ukrainians and the other asylum seekers started coming there.
