That issue comes up every now and again. As the Deputy will know, fuel prices have oscillated quite a bit. They were much higher and then dropped. Issues, particularly in the Middle East, have created another spike and it is starting to retract. As I said the last time I appeared before the committee, the Department has asked Kieran Mulvey to reach out to all elements of the sector to try to put together for us a list of issues that we might be able to address in the short, medium and long terms. Mr. Mulvey has just started that work. I hope that some short-term items, which can be costed and looked at, will come from that work. In that context, we might look at such a scheme. However, there is a cost to it and I do not want to give the Deputy any false hope. It is certainly an issue that is on the radar.
