I do not know if Mr. Spratt would necessarily have information relating to taxi drivers and what buy-in there is for electric vehicles. A significant number have switched. I have heard complaints from others about the way the process is set up. People will always look for improved circumstances and situations to suit themselves. I am interested in seeing where the lie of the land is. In Dublin, a greater element of infrastructure is required to support electric vehicles and there is a logic in helping people to get to that level. We all accept that taxi drivers played a huge part in the public transport infrastructure in the recent period.
