While I accept the Minister's ambition on all of that, farmers in Longford, Leitrim or Mayo listening to him today are not going to decide to grow grass to feed the biodigester because of what they have heard. They do not have the clarity as to what is going to come down the road and that is the difficulty we have.

Apart from that, I think that is something on which I would appeal to the Minister that Government needs to come up with very clear pathways, where farmers can make money from all of this. If the Government does not, it will just be another pie-in-the-sky dream that people have out there. That is the difficulty. I would like to move on to transport but the Minister can come in on that.
