Mr. Declan Meally:

We have a very limited role because it is through the National Transport Authority, NTA. We have worked with it in helping to co-fund some of the large charging points through our community scheme for the buses. Putting in the charge hub in Athlone is one example. We have also been working with the community in Dingle, which has got an electric bus for the Local Link. We are working with them to help them understand the electricity requirements, but mostly the non-domestic space is through the Department of Transport and the national roads agency.
