I welcome the Minister and thank him for his speech and the accompanying written text.I want to pick up on a few comments colleagues have made. Electric vehicles will become more affordable, not less affordable; that is the nature of all technology. The Government is doing the right thing in supporting people who buy them. As time goes by, the smaller city cars will become ever cheaper.

I try not to be political but I find it very difficult not to comment on Sinn Féin's approach. It is the same old approach of describing the problem, giving out about the problem and protesting, but offering no solution. There is a well-thought-out solution on offer from the Minister and the Government on climate action.
