Mr. Kevin McCarthy:
We would have had a standard pricing range in respect of serviced or self-catering accommodation that would have informed our negotiations with individual providers or our agreements around contracts with individual providers. I know it is not what the Deputy is implying but we did not purchase hotels in 2022. However, we obviously purchased services from providers over the course of 2022.
