Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

On the last question, those specific issues are a matter for the Minister with responsibility for energy, Deputy Noel Dempsey. However, we have a good working relationship and I have indicated on a number of occasions that any support we can give, in whatever way, will be forthcoming. The farming organisations have expressed an interest in alternative energies. One of the candidates was very forthright on that issue and continues to be. I assume that working relationship will continue. It is a question of all of us working together. On the State cars issue, I will express that view to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform.
