Mr. Jim Waldron:

There are opportunities, and I think the local councils around the country are missing out on them. Usually, a taxi rank will be in a prime spot. There is no reason that taxi ranks should not be electrified in order that electric cars can be charged while their drivers work. Every taxi rank in the country could be electrified for taxi drivers to use. It is a missed opportunity. I mentioned earlier a trip to County Clare. Drivers are turning down such trips because they cannot get a charge to come back up. There is only one charger in Clare, I believe. It is in Lahinch. Drivers are not going to go there on the basis that somebody else may be there. Taxi ranks throughout the country should be electrified-----
