Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Decarbonisation Strategy for Aviation and Shipping Sectors: Minister of State at the Department of Transport

The Department has been very forward-thinking in some areas, such as with the introduction of electric buses. Then somebody drops the ball and we find there are no charging points. There are 100 buses that cannot be used at the moment. I do not know who is responsible for these things, but they point to a failure on our part, as members of the committees, to exercise oversight. The reason we are not able to exercise oversight is that the Department is not co-operating with us.
