Ms Cathleen Morrison:

As the Chairman said, the 30% relates to a survey carried out on one day in regional offices and the 45% relates to a survey carried out on two different days in the Dublin offices. To get a true sense of the occupancy, it needs to be monitored over a longer period. In some instances, in particular in Dublin, occupancy levels of 60% 65% were recorded. That 45% was just the average. There is a need to monitor the occupancy over at least a week or longer. Those are the data we are now capturing with our clients under Circular 01/2025.
