Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I would like to tell the Deputy what the policy of Government is because it is not what he thinks it is. It is the policy of Government not to force people out of their private cars but rather to move from petrol and diesel cars to hybrids and electric vehicles over the course of the next decade. That can be done. People in rural areas can use hybrids and increasingly will be able to use electric vehicles as well. I saw the Deputy brandishing a headline from a newspaper. That is not a quote from the Minister. Unfortunately it is now allowed to put something in inverted commas in a headline that is not actually a quote. That is what we are dealing with these days.
