Government leaders are keeping all those decisions under review, and obviously a lot has changed over the last number of weeks.

If you look at the price of marked gas oil/green diesel, it was retailing about net 94 cents a litre - it’s up at €1.24 now, and that’s about a 30% of an increase on net effect - which is pretty significant for the agri-economy, and indeed…
