Mr. Graham Doyle:

I will address a number of those points and Ms Behan will deal with the question on the electric vehicle charging points.

In the context of the Minister not being mentioned in my statement, the committee made a point of inviting a series of Secretaries General to come before it over a number of weeks. In writing our statement, we were clear we were invited here as the Department. I suspect this is the reason we took that approach. The Minister has spoken on this point at committees in the past. Last week, he was involved in a significant engagement on climate change along with the Taoiseach. It is something he raises with us regularly as we work through the public transport issue, which is very much about the really important economic impact that providing the right type of public transport and reducing congestion will have. That investment affects the climate change and economic performance issues. The Minister is of a firm mind on that.

I am sure I wrote down all of the questions. There was a good point made about the charging of electric cars as people go about their business. That is an important point and it is a matter the task force on electric vehicles has been seeking to address. I will bring Ms Behan in on that point.
