P J Sheehan (Cork South West, Fine Gael)

It is interesting to hear the Minister talking about electric cars. I wonder if they will be able to run from Mizen Head to Malin Head. A recent article in a Sunday newspaper suggested that electric cars will need to be charged for three and a half hours after two thirds of the journey from Dublin to Cork. Apparently, when I start the last lap of my journey - from Fermoy to Goleen - I will only have to charge my car for 20 minutes.
