Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Sustainable Mobility Policy: Department of Transport
Mr. Garret Doocey:
The sustainable mobility policy is about active travel and public transport. The overarching climate action plan will look at the entire transport sector, including EVs. We struggled with this question ourselves in the early days of this policy, deciding what it was focused on. It was decided that this is an active travel and public transport policy, which was done in the knowledge of the point that the Chairman rightly raises, that there will always be cars. We need to look at how to incentivise a shift in the car industry. That is in the climate action plan.
