Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

-----or Ministers' cars, it would break the cohesion around our use of bus lanes. As Deputy Coveney stated earlier, these electric vehicles will look like ordinary cars. They will look no different except that they will not have an exhaust running out the back and they will be blessedly quiet. If one sees a car whizzing up in a bus lane, one does not know whether it is electric. We cannot allow them in bus lanes. The bus lanes are working. Let us extend the network, but they are for buses, taxis and emergency vehicles.
