Dr. Brian Caulfield:

I thank Deputy Farrell for reading the work we produced in Trinity. That work was funded by the SEAI and the Department of Transport. We looked at a number of low cost options to reduce emissions. Several of them were examined. The first iteration of it happened just before the pandemic. Working from home and home-shopping were two elements we examined. We also looked at providing electric vehicle charging points at workplaces. We considered the issue of tyre pressure in terms of there being a national policy or campaign for motorists to check their tyre pressure to determine how that could reduce emissions. Working from home and electric vehicle charging points at work turned out to provide the biggest bang for one's buck in terms of a low cost investment. The final report is with the SEAI and I am very happy to share it with the Deputy. I stand corrected on metro north.
