I was talking about Mr. O'Leary from Walsh Mushrooms in Golden in Tipperary, where myself and the Chairman are from. He said he does not see a short-term solution in sight. He said diluting peat is driving up costs by 40% to 50%. He also suggested that as you narrow the providers of peat, the prices are going to increase. Does Mr. Boland have any opinion on that?
