Dr. Ciaran Byrne:

I think the Deputy will appreciate that our side cannot really speak about local authorities but I can talk about what the SEAI does. The question about EV charges was raised at an earlier hearing of the committee. My understanding, although it is not our particular section, is that we fund the support for chargers that are put in retrospectively. Once they are put in they draw down grant funding from ourselves in the SEAI. We are ready to provide the grant.
