I thank all the witnesses. Mr. Blevings said many workers were put under significant duress by frustrated members of the public. We cannot condone that. We extend solidarity to ordinary workers trying to go about their business.

May I ask Mr. McPartlan a question about the Irish market? What is the nature of it? How many big players are there? How many players are there overall? What percentage of the market do the top five or six players control? There is significant variation among the witnesses. We have heard of the single operator working directly with a refinery versus other operators. What is the picture like, particularly in respect of a healthy, competitive market?
