Yeah, and look, it's been a really big fall actually in April, down 25%.
Now that might be linked to war in Iran, who knows.
But year on year, for the whole year so far, it's down 5% and student visas are down 8%.
So obviously people are looking at America and thinking it's not for me right now.
Good luck to you.
And then, of course, there's all the thing about checking your social media.
And it just seems to be falling off the plate destinations that people want to go to.
I don't think this story will surprise anybody who works or lives in Dublin city centre or spends any time in the city centre.
The figures might.
Almost a million euro in two years, Pat, the council has spent cleaning up.
And there's a fascinating statistic in that.
For every 24 hours that the crews go around cleaning up bins, three of them are spent dealing with the fallout from people scavenging for those cans and bottles in the bin to get their money back.
It's the law of unintended consequences striking again.
And more bizarrely, you might remember, people will know, and people probably don't even know what they're for, those rings that have been put around the bin.
A lot of money was spent on those, I think 40,000 euro.
Nobody uses them.
They put actual rubbish in them.
