You need to steward it, you need to have it, and you need to cooperate with the Gardaí.

I think it's about three weeks since the European Energy Commissioner Jorgensen.

were signaling to governments that they needed to start preparing for this and whether this was in terms of working from home, which becomes a big factor, in terms of not so much fuel rationing, but looking at non-essential travel.

And I think from that point of view, we have a large meeting coming up in June

And we're going to have a serious look.

A, can it go ahead?

Or B, our member companies, are they going to put a ban on non-essential travel?

But I think we're kind of in a little bit of a false security at the moment.

Because it takes those tankers.

But the issue around fuel is not just the Straits of Hormuz.

They could open tomorrow and it'll still take months, if not years, to recover because Qatar had a lot of its oil, gas and other production cut off.

So this isn't just going to depend on one event, which is opening up the Straits of Humboldt.

It's a lot more than that.

I just looked at my watch and thought, I'm going to pop that ball.
