Do we still get quite a chunk of our gas supply from Corrib? This argument of having to pay for transport does not stack up when it is coming from Corrib. Will the witnesses return to this?

The witnesses' answers are very convoluted for ordinary people, including ordinary Deputies such as me, who are trying to understand. Why are they separating the idea of a rise in profits from the rise in the cost of energy to the consumer? I ask somebody to go over this again briefly. I have given them the evidence. I am not making up these figures. Their profits have risen and prices have risen. Are these two things not connected?
