Mr. Des Dempsey:

Before I came to the Oireachtas today I contacted one of the smaller garages in the city. It is not only the larger garages that deal with EVs. At the moment, that garage owner has 17 brand new cars in his forecourt, with taxi signs on them, ready to move. He is waiting for the NTA to upload them onto the system so he can get them out on the road. We have been in touch with the NTA. I spent two hours on the phone yesterday; myself and many others have spent lengthy periods trying to get through to the NTA. It is impossible to get an appointment-----
