I have one small, final thing. The SEAI administers the grants and I get all that. Is there a hindrance to people taking up those the grants to get EV cars because the public infrastructure around the country is not strong enough? Is that part of the reason the volume of people applying for the grants for the chargers etc. is not there? I would expect that to be the case. I live in rural Ireland. The idea of not being able to get to a point to where you can charge your car quickly is an issue. I would say that hinders the applications going through to the SEAI, which is not its fault, but it is part of a broader conversation we need to have. Would the SEAI representatives accept that?
