Shane Ross (Dublin Rathdown, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I want to do everything I can to encourage people to use these charging points. What the Deputy is expressing is probably a microcosm of what is happening elsewhere. While I am talking rather loosely as I have no other evidence, it would appear that Portlaoise is not the only place this is happening. If people are blocking parking spaces and using chargers, they may be frustrating others who wish to charge their cars.

Although Deputy Troy will be very annoyed, I cannot interfere with the workings of the NTA or Iarnród Éireann-----
