Such is the price increase that it will take hold in respect of a range of businesses that previously would not have seen their energy bill as the real determining factor, for example, a business that has a large number of refrigeration or heating facilities. In discussions with the Taoiseach and others yesterday, I used the example of a small shop that might have difficulties because it has various ovens and refrigeration systems. Many of these companies are going to start to experience real difficulties. We will work with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, the Minister for Finance and others to see what we can do to help.
