I thank the witnesses. This engagement is important. There is a need for us to engage further and to have greater transparency on the issue of pricing. There was much frustration and anger among consumers. I know from talking to retailers in Cork that there was also a lot of anger and frustration on their side. To be fair, we are all caught in the storm that is the crisis we are in. In everything we do, we must think of the people of Ukraine, who are being treated so appallingly, and the tragic loss of life. We stand with the people of Ukraine, but at the same time we have a duty here to protect our consumers. I thank our guests for their engagement.
