I thank Mr. O'Sullivan for his comprehensive presentation. My initial reaction is that the train has already taken off, in that a great deal of progress has been made, it is a no-brainer and that it should be rolled out as quickly as possible, after the conference in Paris which identified the need to progress such measures quickly.

Mr. O'Sullivan referenced the decisions taken in the budget that were supportive and mentioned the need for funding of these stations. How much funding is required? What other changes in legislation are required to implement the regulations? I presume the infrastructure will be similar to the charging stations for the electric cars and that it will need to be replicated around the country. What would it cost to set up one of these stations?
