Mr. David McRedmond:

We will provide the committee with the information requested. The roll-out of electric vehicles is going very well. Our target was to reduce our carbon emissions by 50% by 2030, based on figures from 2010. We have moved that forward to a 50% reduction by 2025. We will get there early.

From today, we only have electric vehicles for daily deliveries and collections between the canals in Dublin, apart from a couple of heavy collections, one of which is from Leinster House. We have to start and stop our vehicles all the time so if An Post can do it, there is an opportunity for the Oireachtas to consider whether there is any reason to have anything other than electric commercial vehicles in the centre of the city. By the end of next year, our aim is to have only electric vehicles in all the five cities of Ireland, which includes greater Dublin, and we are on track to do that.
