and not just local hotels but also you've managed to get offers from Dublin hotels yeah we have two hotels Delata which owns the Maldren hotel group and the Clayton yes they have a voucher there which still has plenty of value yes it's because it's worth 350 euro but and the bidding is at 205 exactly and the Herbert Park Hotel I'd say it's the posh hotel in Ballsbridge yeah that's has plenty of value remaining out too absolutely because it's it's valued 300 and it's currently sits at 180 exactly yeah so and then there's like nights away or at the very least meals normally it's breaks and
