Mr. Brian Purcell:
All the properties we have are in use. We have a standing element of flexibility where we try to keep 10% of capacity free. All of the accommodation centres are in use. Through the years, we no longer have some that we used to have but all of those that we have are currently in use. We have 35 accommodation centres at the moment. In 2010 we had 46.
