Plus 48,000 renewals. They are very significant figures. It is important to put the 4,800 notices of termination into context vis-à-vis the figure of 18,000. We hear figures quoted all of the time but it is only the figure for notices of termination that is referred to and the figure for new tenancies is never referred to in the media or in political discussions on this issue. In terms of communications around this issue, maybe that is something the RTB can highlight in its reports going forward. It is important that both data sets are laid out clearly alongside each other. Otherwise, a distorted picture emerges of the sector.
