Wait one second. I have outlined another scenario that happened in Ireland during that crazy two weeks. First, as Mr. McPartlan said earlier, supplies were rationed. In the first week, the drivers of lorries were told that the price would be €800 to €830 for kerosene for home heating. That went up to €1,000 for 500 litres, which is €2 per litre. Green diesel was also rationed. The price was set at €800 but some people had to pay more. Why did that happen when the original difference was 65 cent? Even when the Government took the 15 cent off, which was welcome, the gap was still wrong.
