Therefore, additional pumps will not be required in forecourts and diesel and petrol will contain 10% of bio-fuel. I presume that is the plan. Otherwise, it would be complicated to provide additional pumps on small forecourt areas which would involve additional costs and planning. This is an ambitious plan.

I commend the motion to the House. I thank the Minister of State present and the Minister, Deputy Ryan, who was here earlier, for coming to the House. The points made by Senator O'Malley are worth pursing. We should check the website to which she referred and I thank her for bringing it to our attention.

I commend the Minister of State on his work on the development of hydrogen fuel cells. He is most innovative. I served in the Department he is in, although not in the science and technology side. He has some great ideas. I hope he will come to the House in the near future and outline some of his ideas and the work he is doing on the development of alternative energy.
