What specific action does the Government propose to take to address the key points made in yesterday's OECD and Climate Change Advisory Council report on the Irish transport system? The report showed the need for the Government to prioritise policies to reallocate road space from private cars to ensure that walking and cycling are better accommodated. I ask this knowing that although the Minister for Transport, Deputy Eamon Ryan, outlined that he would be launching certain pathfinder projects over the coming weeks, we saw no new initiatives for cycling in particular in the budget. That was really disappointing. The Labour Party has proposed a cycle-to-school scheme, which we have proposed for some years now, where the Government would subsidise the cost of bikes for children in the same way that we have seen the very successful bike-to-work scheme operate. We also called for an old car scrappage scheme where cars over ten years old could be exchanged, essentially subsidised for exchange, for e-bikes or cargo bikes instead to try to encourage to a far greater extent the reallocation of road space for cyclists. We saw no new initiatives for cycling from the Government in the budget. That was really disappointing, particularly in light of yesterday's report.

The lunatics are running the asylum.

I do not know what that was about.

In fairness, in the past two years, nobody can say that there has not been very significant investment in cycling facilities, improvements to footpaths and pedestrian facilities. There has been huge investment, through both the Departments of Transport and Rural and Community Development, in improving facilities for cyclists, footpaths and pedestrian facilities.

Every day more people cross the canals by bike, including people we both know, than was the case in the past, but we acknowledge more needs to be done. We believe electric vehicles are part of the solution and we need much more investment in the charging points in particular. I had not heard the idea of a scrappage scheme where people would replace their car with a bike, a cargo bike or an e-bike. I think that is a really good idea and perhaps one we will give some thought to.

I will send details to the Tánaiste. It has been done in France.
