Mr. Paul Jackman:

It came up earlier.

What we are looking for is an independent authority that is responsible for fuel quality. On fuel quality, we are looking at the emissions level of vehicles. The fleet is predominantly Euro 6, and Euro 7 is coming, so the higher the emission level, the more sensitive the vehicle is because of the fuel injection system and the pressure at which it operates. Therefore, as we are going up in our emissions, the fuel quality is going down for reasons of the mandate in the climate Bill, Fit for 55, etc., but there is no oversight of what those components are.

There was a report done by Byrne Ó Cléirigh consultants for the National Oil Reserves Agency, NORA, and the Department of Transport. The report states that the application of tallow animal fat to biofuel in Ireland is four and a half times the EU average, and UCO, which is used cooking oil, is three times the EU average. We are dependent on animal fats at a level no other state in Europe is, and that is the most compromising component in our diesel. It might be meeting regulation, but there is no oversight of that aspect. We had samples taken, and the results showed up to 26% non-fossil fuel. We used three separate labs. We have warranty issues where the manufacturers refused to stand over the warranty for two vehicles. Once there was a fuel issue, they checked the fuel quality and the fuel failed. It did not comply with EN 590. They said the warranty was based on fuel of a certain quality and they refused to cover the vehicles' warranty claim. It is an issue for all vehicle users, including cars.
