Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

A year or two. They are reviewed on a regular basis. We do not get into longer term leases for the reasons I outlined. We might not need the accommodation.

We have been working on the development and implementation of the recommendations in the McMahon report in respect of the accommodation. They place certain restrictions on the accommodation. We are trying to make it more family friendly and so forth.

However, it means one restricts one's capacity a little. Obviously, it is a positive development for the residents.
