Mr. Kevin McPartlan:

-----but also for petrol. We had those storms, which prevented unloading and, in turn, meant we were down to low levels. Then we had a period when the price rises were extremely sharp almost daily. That meant that people tried, perfectly reasonably, to get ahead of the price rises. Instead of waiting until the weekend, they decided they would fill up before then. Instead of buying €50 worth of fuel, they decided they would buy €70 worth.
