It is a really serious matter. We are talking about eliminating diesel and petrol by 2030. If between those two key Departments, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment, we have not even got around to putting the charging infrastructure in place except what has been put there by the ESB, a stand-alone semi-State company, we are not in a good place.
