The ESB is involved in an expansion of the number of recharging points available. An advertising campaign is being run to draw attention to the recharging points in place and, I am sure, those new ones to come. I take Deputy Bacik's point, however, that we need to see an expansion in the number of these charging points and more available in suburban parts of our cities and in our in towns and villages. I have no doubt that the Minister for Transport, Deputy Eamon Ryan, will be pressing the ESB, with the funding that is available to it, to make more of these charging points available. I fully support all the initiatives underway now to change the way in which our kids can go to school. It is good to see the greater numbers of people on our buses and Luas trams, which is at least helped by the lower level of public transport fares now operating.
