I understand the concerns businesses have. I remember they were there when the war in Ukraine started in terms of sanctions against Russia. We had a big company in Limerick run by a Russian oligarch. There were concerns that business would go and things like that. From past experience, when Mr. O'Brien sees things like this happen or political decisions being made where there are concerns within business, does it often materialise that it is as bad as or worse than predicted?

Does it ease off over time? Is this different?
