Ms Hanlon has said that the Department intends to get rid of diesel. A euro 6 engine has been proven, without a doubt, to be the same as gas in terms of emissions at the moment. I am sure it will be tested by the Department as part of its testing process. Why are the gas engines being tested while the euro 6 engines are being ruled out? Perhaps the euro 7 will be even better than gas. Why has that decision been made?
