I understand what the Deputy is saying. We all know that electric vehicles are substantially more expensive than other vehicles that are currently on the road. Therefore, there will be a dual difficulty here. People are going to want to change sooner in order to go carbon neutral and there is also the high cost of new cars. I have not addressed that particular issue yet. It may be something we can explore further on Report Stage. I have no specific information on the transition to electric cars in the context of this debate. If I were to say anything further, I would only be speculating. We will make a note to address that more in more detail on Report Stage.
