Mr. John Conlon:
We work hard with our clients to make sure that they are maximising their occupancy. We use our own building, 1 George's Quay, as an exemplar for other Departments in relation to how they can use hotdesking and shared office space to increase the number of people in the same footprint. We will continue working on that. That is easier in the newer buildings than in the older buildings. It is something we will do more work on. As I understand it, the optimum occupancy rate is in the region of 60% to 65%, and we will work towards that.
