Ms Tara Buckley:

With regard to the property tax and water charges, all the retailers here would say that any type of bad news or commentary about new taxes or new charges has a direct impact on their businesses and what people spend and their shopping. On a positive note, good weather has a positive impact. Things are good in the retail trade at the moment.
