Michael McNamara: I am sorry there is not more time. I have to be fair to everybody. I have a couple of questions myself. I would like to continue to discuss Shannon Heritage, which is part of Shannon Group. Ms Considine has repeatedly told us that most of the sites rely on international tourism for business.
