Kieran O'Donnell: When will we get to a point where the charging points become like petrol stations or diesel stations in that they are everywhere? Charging at home is a feature. I am assuming there are massive capital costs for the high-powered chargers. How many charging points are required in terms of the network in Ireland?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Will the 1,450 charging points all be located within the 52 hubs?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: At this moment in time what is the priority of the Department of Transport for the next 12 months? I get the charging points and I welcome the fast ones. That is great.
