I sent the Tánaiste the details from the constituent who was in contact with me who employees 120 people. I completely accept there is an international issue. I hope it will be short term. There is a lack of competition whereby there is no possibility of being able to negotiate with a provider. Domestic customers can switch but not enough of them do. This competitive side is problematic. This particular enterprise was paying 6 cent a unit and is now paying 25 cent a unit. It may well compromise future contracts for this particular company.
