Mr. Paul Jackman:

It is worth putting on the record that we have a member that has several trucks working in Dublin city centre. It has looked at the EV option. The Dublin city permit costs, the State road tax and the tolls are exactly the same for an EV versus a 1988 diesel truck. There is not one incentive from an operator's perspective to improve the air quality in the city for the citizens. That is shocking and should be put on record here. We have raised it. We have written to Dublin City Council several times to try to get the Dublin city permit removed for electric vehicles, but there has been no outcome.
