Mr. John Conlon:

No, we can provide a note on this. There are different arrangements. Some residences in Phoenix Park are occupied by people and it is as part of the conditions of the employment and emolument of the post. For example, there are certain jobs in Phoenix Park, such as a deer keeper, where they are required to do certain works. We provide the house and a yard, so they can do that work. If they are gatekeepers or doing security would have reduced rent applied to them. Others would have other rents applied. It is a varying type of arrangement in terms of the type of work they do and the type of emolument in what they have.
