And of course...

You know, one of the things that does characterize April and a very strong month for electric is the fact that we were seeing the real impact of the Iranian energy crisis.

So people are now voting with their pockets away from energy dependency towards EV.

And I just hope that the...

infrastructure for EVs will grow in line with the growth in sales.

But I would see it, I have to say, as a positive development.

It's one I'm glad to see happening.

Chris, there was another interesting story that caught my eye in Ireland at the moment.

You know, we have huge shortages of staff in the health sector.

And if you happen to visit an Irish hospital, you come to realise just how important it is to have non-Irish nationals coming into the country because they basically keep the health service going here.

And I think it's the same in the NHS in the UK.

But anyway, one of the problems is that a lot of the doctors who graduate here emigrate straight away for a variety of reasons.

But the Department of Higher Education is now trying to push a proposal.

They will offer a loan scheme for medical students and the loan will be written off if they stay working in Ireland for a committed period of time.

And it strikes me as a really good idea because incentives do work.

And, you know, you would hope that all of the money we spend educating doctors that the country would get some benefit for us from it for at least some period of time.

What do you think of that as a suggestion?

interesting and obviously time will only answer that question but that there has to be some possibility that you know if they stay here for four or five years working that maybe they get on the housing ladder perhaps they form a relationship here so they certainly would be stickier after five years working here than when they come straight out of college you know i guess that would be the hope anyway and and and

Okay.

OK, listen, Chris, great to talk.
