I thank the Minister of State for the response. However, there is no great light at the end of the tunnel in this. It seems that the Department does not mind what is thrown into the skip. The value of all this is that parts are recycled. For parts to be recycled and a carbon footprint to be attached to them, they have to be physically taken out of the car that is being recycled. That costs money and labour. The Minister of State has to bring back to the Minister and Government the message that they do not seem to care what goes into the skip. There has to be a better way. Grants need to be made available to these people. Otherwise, they will not be able to afford to invest because it takes an enormous amount of money to do what they are doing, taking those parts out of cars and other vehicles, attaching a carbon footprint to them, logging them, putting them up for sale and having a system where people can get them easily when someone comes looking for them. Will the Minister of State bring that message back to the Government and Minister?
