I don't know what you understood, but if that's what you understood, that's not at all what I said.
On the contrary, the population of the town of Shannon has exploded. It hasn't exploded. That's not true. However, it is growing steadily. Every year, there are newcomers, and the base contributes to that. The town now has 7,000 residents.
When we acquired part of the military base, it increased the town's population. We estimate that about 1,500 people live on the base. This is the figure we can provide because we don't have all the data. Currently, there are 7,050 people in the city of Shannon, and there are likely about 1,500 people on the base, according to our estimate. Our population has not decreased. It has grown. Our city is expanding.
I may have expressed myself poorly. I apologize.
