I thank Dr. O'Grady. My next question is for Ms Ward. I am interested in the ESB's Dingle Project and the experience of EV usage in a rural area. Members will be interested to hear about that experience. We know from the statistics that a lot of EVs are ending up in urban areas, which is the nature of these things. One of the factors is that there are alternative modes of public transport available there. I am interested in any insights the ESB representatives have on the rural experience.

Ms Ward said she would welcome the opportunity for ESB to engage on the key criteria for charging locations. What are her thoughts at this stage on what the important considerations should be?
