Mr. John Martin:

Deputy O'Rourke may be aware of this already but a public consultation was undertaken last year on a ten-year haulage strategy. We will be publishing the summary report of that consultation within the coming weeks with a view to publishing the draft strategy in September and finalising the strategy by the end of the year. Among other issues, that will capture the whole question of decarbonisation of that specific sector. As Ms Lennon says, there are lots of developments in that space, not least the alternative fuels infrastructure regulations which passed through general approach at the European Council a couple of weeks ago. In addition to that, it does appear that electric haulage is now starting to gather pace, no pun intended. It is a technology that appears to be coming on stream quicker than had been envisaged. I certainly think there are a number of areas coming on stream here. The haulage strategy will look to capture as much of that as possible.
