And listening to the Minister on Morning Ireland this morning, it sounds like a first come, first served, because they only have the 10 million.

It's a pilot scheme to see if it works.

They want to get more of us driving electric cars to save the planet.

And that's laudable.

And I was listening away to Tara O'Brien talking to Sarah McInerney.

And she said, so how many with this fund?

And he says, we're talking 2,000.

And I took him at his word until I took to the calculator.

And I put 10 million divided by 8,500.

And I got 1,176, which is a long way away from 2,000.

Because you're not rounding up from 1,176 to 2,000.

And then I put 10 million divided by 5,000 and that's 2,000, okay.

But where's the 3,500 towards the new EV?

And I think to myself, if he's a minister in charge of this scheme and he's getting his fundamental maths wrong, that's worrying.

That's very worrying.

Listen back.

He said 2,000.

Now, maybe there's something in it that I missed, but I don't think I did.

And I've checked that.

8,500, 10 million is 1,176.
