Mr. Hubert Loftus:
We can provide that breakdown on a side-by-side basis. Typically speaking, large urban areas are larger in terms of student numbers, not necessarily larger in terms of site areas. That just reflects the cost of sites in Dublin. There can be the world of difference between buying an acre of land in south Dublin and buying an acre of land in Roscommon.
