I was going to ask a similar question around the regional equity issue. We are hampered by having poor local government. It does not have the powers to do this properly, but there is merit in the Minister examining ways of addressing this issue. We could look at the meter point reference number, MPRN, as a way of identifying people with EVs and their addresses. I encourage the Minister to revisit this policy. I do not like the idea that the rich people of Dublin will be providing the second-hand cars for the poorest parts of the country, which is what this seems to be.
