I will continue on from where Deputy Lahart has finished. There are a couple of interesting things that strike me in respect of the proposals the witnesses are making. I agree with some aspects, and while they take account of the environmental side of things, they sometimes seem to miss completely the impact on communities and individuals, especially on communities or individuals who do not have the necessary disposable income in the area in which to make a move. I will give some examples. Let us consider the coffee cups. The price of a cup of coffee moves vastly. People pay ridiculous prices and I suggest that €1 for a cup of coffee is a very good deal. Ms O'Brien's local club should be very happy.
