Briefly, if I can ask, each of the local authorities is required to do a climate action plan individually. It falls in under the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, under the remit of the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan. He has just written to one of the local authorities to now start preparing the climate action plans with climate mitigation measures. He issued directions on the guidelines. We will be fine with that, as a Department. In regard to EV charging points, I am visiting all the local authorities and bringing up that point. Once again, the policy on that is coming out of the Department of Transport but it is something I have spoken about to all the local authorities. The Minister, Deputy O'Brien, speaks about rural areas. EV charging points are just as important, if not more important, in rural locations. Both of those are happening at the moment.
