Dan Boyle (Cork South Central, Green Party)

I put it to the Minister that it is because the vested interests he represents are not represented by people who produce biofuels or biofuel vehicles. If he were serious about measures such as these, he would put incentives in place. I asked the Minister what type of take-up would be in existence by the time of the next budget. He also told the House there had been 12 approvals, but I asked how many applications had been made for the first measure.
