Ms R?is?n Bradley:

We do. Some 22.5% of our fleet is electric, which is 46 vehicles. I will go back to say one thing. In 2021, we were still at the height of the pandemic and, with regard to vehicle occupancy, rules kept changing. Our staff were deemed essential workers so we were doing everything we could to make sure they were out on the ground carrying out their job and doing it safely. At certain points in the pandemic, we could only have one staff member in a car where normally we would have four or even sometimes five. At other times, we had screens allowing two people in the car, one in front of the screen and one in the back. In 2021 we had, I think, 102 lease cars. The following year we had 38. It was an unusual year.

Getting back to the Deputy's question on EVs, 46 cars in our fleet, or 22.5%, are EVs. They have travelled more than 665,000 km in the course of duty since 2019. We recognise that 70% of our emissions are attributed to our fleet but we are proud to say we have made a 44.5% improvement in energy efficiency compared to our baselines, which is an SEAI performance energy indicator. We are a leader in energy performance and proud of that fact.
