Mr. Graham Doyle:

If I may, I will first respond to a couple of points made by Deputy Jack Chambers because they led to the questions on electric vehicles which Ms Behan will answer. I mentioned the year 2035, which is an internationally recognised timeframe and not one that I have set. I have made clear we are very anxious to do all we can in the intervening period to reach the objective faster. I want to be clear about that.

Deputy Chambers mentioned tolling in Norway. We already have such a scheme in place already. He also made a good point about what could be done to incentivise the use of electric vehicles using the tax base in terms, if we go back to the way motor taxation was calculated some time ago, it resulted in a significant behavioural shift. These days, we have large numbers of diesel cars and a different problem from CO2 in terms of air quality. We can see the power of the diesel incentive so the Deputy's point is well made. Ms Behan will answer the other questions.
