I thank the Minister for the reply. We all know the issue here is funding. Despite many commitments to funding, we have seen little of it.

I welcome and note that the Minister has made waves on this proposal but we need to hear from him on a regular basis what line Ireland is following in this area. We also need to ensure that all biofuels comply with the sustainability provisions contained in the 2016 Paris Agreement.

I note the Minister is working on this matter. This is very important, particularly for my own area of Carlow, where it is hoped to revive the sugar factory. There are many farmers and other people interested in this happening. Carlow is the ideal location for a sugar factory and, going forward, I will be working to make this happen.
