In 2019, the climate action fund remained largely unspent and planned spending included €10 million on a partnership with ESB on the roll-out of EV charging points, something I would love to see. However, €10 million represents two thirds of the spending from the climate action fund. Mr. Griffin outlined that in 2019 only 0.3% of cars on Irish roads were electric. Even with the increase to 15,000, that is still less than 1%. Does the Department have any particular performance indicators or guidelines that help it decide how to spend its funds as it relates to the impact it will have on Irish people?
