Very good at this. Yeah, yeah, no, not a problem. And I guess my comments are just directed, if it's okay, to Francis Fitzgerald, if that's all right. Francis, given the recent surge in energy prices right across Europe and including Ireland, how do you think this situation is going to actually affect the European Green Deal? How do you think the EU is working to actually protect, I guess, ordinary citizens and their households from that surge in energy prices, which we are seeing right across Europe and particularly in Ireland? And finally, we've seen that the Just Transition Fund in the European Union, I think it's worth £1.75 billion. Do you think that's enough to achieve the type of just transition that we need, not only in Ireland but right across the European continent? Thank you very much.
