I am conscious of time. Mr. Godfrey's argument is that it is unlawful for them to have a cartel and to work with each other to set a price, but there is nothing the CCPC can do if I drive into a filling station and I spend way over the odds, for example, €2.50 per litre on diesel today. If I make a complaint to the CCPC, that complaint is pointless, really. Mr. Godfrey said people should make complaints. He said three times today that people should make complaints to the CCPC where they see fit. If I made a complaint today about the price of fuel, nothing is acted upon.
