I thank the Minister for his reply. I understand now that this scheme already exists.

I with to advise that gas vehicles are not particularly relevant to the Irish market. Some people did partake in the scheme but it has not really been successful. One will find that with the stakeholders involved they will seek more of an upgrade to a Euro 6 diesel as opposed to Euro 6 gas. Also, our infrastructure has not been rolled quick enough and is not aligned with Europe where they are moving away from the gas model. I emphasise that it is a misconception that we are moving towards gas.

I withdraw the amendment with liberty to resubmit it on Report Stage.
