I thank the witnesses for joining us. Mr. Breen spoke about the stock of 2,000 tonnes of peat. With the best will in the world, 45,000 to 50,000 tonnes are used in Ireland per year. Even if 50% is added to that 2,000 tonnes in some way, would it be fair to say we will have just 8% to 9% of what is required in Ireland for the year?
