I thank everyone and, in particular, the Trócaire representatives for all the work they have been doing for many years on various issues and, in particular, in flagging this issue. There are significant fines for not meeting the targets. There are many reasons we should move towards electric cars and reduce our carbon footprint generally. Similar to reduce, reuse and recycle, we should try where we can to consume less energy. I thank Trócaire, Deputy Pringle and Mr. Bond for their contributions.
