She will be aware then that the maximum level applies at €1.43 per litre. This is stitched in. The maximum amount that may be claimed back is €7.50. If the price of diesel is below €1.23, there is no rebate. Those figures are totally out of line. During the Second Stage debate on the Finance Bill in the Dáil, I asked the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, to consider amending the scheme through that Bill. Is this a matter that concerns the Minister of State? Has she made any representations to the Minister for Finance in that regard on behalf of an industry for which she is the responsible Minister of State? Has she spoken to the Minister about that matter?
