Mr. Mike Quinn:

Yes, and we have seen that. We laid people off for five weeks this year and put them on short-term work because of that. We ended up with 60,000 tonnes of briquettes - we showed photographs of these at the last Oireachtas committee meeting - and had nowhere to store the briquettes at the end of the season. It is a combination of factors. In that case, the weather was mild and we had an abundance of wood from the storm a few years back and the carbon tax impact.
