No, you are fine. I must still make the point that I do not think the witnesses have addressed Deputy Quinlivan's Bill today. To me, it reads like a sceptical essay and it also seems as if the witnesses are wedded to this idea that the market always works when, clearly, we know it does not. Deputy Quinlivan's Bill will cap price increases to 10%. Do the witnesses acknowledge that this in itself would make a very valuable contribution to this issue?
