That is encouraging about the home charging. That is obviously where most people will do their charging but there are still those black holes in the western half of the country. Finally, in the minute I have left, many local authorities are introducing their climate adaptation plans. However, we are not seeing any climate mitigation plans from local authorities. Basically, they are putting in plans to prevent flooding and maybe prevent coastal erosion but very little is being done on reducing emissions and mitigation. Where is that at? Following on from that, the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, might talk about the welcome news recently that each local authority will have a biodiversity officer. How is recruitment going on that?
