Mr. John Byrne:

Over the past two and a half years under the climate action fund we have seen an increasing willingness on the part of petrol fuel forecourt operators to engage with us around the provision of charging infrastructure and most noticeably this year as we have seen more and more electric vehicles on the roads. Mr. Meally has pointed out that nearly 3% of the population is now using electric vehicles. Encouragingly, we are now starting to see a lot of petrol station owners and operators moving EV charging points to more prominent positions on their campuses or on their sites, which is very welcome.
