Mr. Paddy Carroll:

I would not zoom in mostly on bus lanes. Other ideas include an exemption on charges on toll roads and free parking while charging. The statutory instrument does not refer to it as a parking space but rather as a recharging bay. It is a bay that I would arrive at in order to recharge my car. We feel that should be free. The authorities in Limerick city have said that parking must be paid for but those in Waterford tell us that an electric vehicle can be parked free of charge at any one of the public designated charging bays. There is no joined-up thinking and instead there is total inconsistency. If I am going from one county to the next, I might take a chance but I could be ticketed. Maybe I will not be ticketed.
