Mr. Brian Cooke:

We are at about 22,000 new electric vehicles this year, which will be the best year. 2023 was the best year and there was an 18% fall in 2024. There is a variety of reasons for that. We have turned a corner. It has not just happened in Ireland but across all European markets. Part of it is that there is a greater range of vehicles that suit more people, not just from a budgetary perspective but from a range perspective as well. The market is on its way up. It needs more of a push to get up as quickly as we need to meet our climate change goals. It is definitely going in the right direction. We have turned a corner but I just fear the bend is a bit longer than I would have hoped.
