Mr. Dermot Nolan:

I realise this is a large question and I will do my best to answer it. I hope I am not nitpicking about the gas price but the 40% referred to this year's rise. The bigger and very painful rise in gas was last year, at 21%. That was purely fuel-based because the price of gas rose for a variety of reasons. I can discuss them if the committee so wishes.
