Mr. Kevin McCarthy:
We watch the rolling seven-day average of arrivals. Over the course of the last year, that went from a considerable high in March, April, May and June, reduced somewhat during the summer and reduced again towards the end of the year. We have seen since the beginning the year that figure start to pick up. Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen a pick-up in the numbers in that seven-day rolling average.
