I will pose a hypothetical situation I hope we will never see. If there were a derogation occasioned by the war and the Government requested Bord na Móna to increase its briquette production, would it be in a position to do it? Forget about the High Court. At times like this, rules can change quickly. It was mentioned earlier that Bord na Móna is auctioning off machinery. If the situation I outlined were to arise and the Government were to tell us we will be without oil and gas next winter and need a certain tonnage of briquettes, would Bord na Móna be in a position to meet that challenge?
