Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021) Matt Carthy: It comes from an Electric Ireland press statement that includes a table stating that the share of electric vehicles increased from 4% in 2020 to 7% to date. I do not have the actual date. I think it was in August. Do we have a breakdown of electric vehicles by county? Do we know, for example, how many of those electric vehicles were purchased by residents in Dublin?

Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021) Matt Carthy: Would it be fair to say that a large proportion of electric vehicles would be purchased in Dublin and other large cities?

Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021) Matt Carthy: It would be useful if we could get a breakdown by county. At the point when this table was compiled, 4,333 electric vehicles had been purchased so far this year. It would be useful to get a breakdown as to where they were purchased. Obviously, a key issue is the issue of charging points. I know in my county the coverage is pathetic. I think three towns have one charging point and all...

Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021) Matt Carthy: I am trying to get specifics here. When will we see electric vehicle charging points at every service station on our motorways, even if we just reduce it to that?

In the current plans, what new rail lines are envisaged and are in some stage of design or planning? Will the witnesses list them?

I ask Mr. Doocey to list which additional rail lines are currently on his desk at some level of planning.

Are there any other new rail lines? I understand that the line to Navan has been agreed. Is any other new rail line that is currently not in place agreed at a political level?

Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021) Matt Carthy: I thank Mr. Doocey. I am not asking about upgrades. I take it from the answers that other than the key projects that I talked about in Dublin, there are no firm proposals for new additional passenger lines.

No answers were provided to any of the questions that I have. I am trying to figure out what the plans announced by the Government would mean for my own constituents. We have no rail network.

Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021) Matt Carthy: I gather from what we are hearing now that it is not going to happen. We have three electric vehicle charging points. We have pathetic bus services and no plans really to expand them. If we are to play a part in the reduction of 500,000 journeys per day, the only strategy is to make it too expensive for some people to make some journeys. Is that correct?

Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021) Matt Carthy: To return to the discussion of rail, Mr. Spratt indicated there seems to be quite a bit of emphasis on the strategic rail review. Will he detail as briefly as he can the format that review will take? Who is going to conduct it, what timeframe will they be operating under and what budget have they been allocated?

Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021) Matt Carthy: As for what the consultants will be looking at, is everything on the table in regard to new routes? Will they assess and catalogue, perhaps, railway lines that have closed and what proportion of those lines are redeemable? Will they analyse, for example, those counties that have no rail lines? There are five such counties, as I understand it, namely, Cavan, Monaghan, Fermanagh, Tyrone and...

Will there be a set of recommendations? Will there be a cost-benefit analysis? Will it outline the merits and challenges or disadvantages of new lines? I have a particular interest in that issue. Dealing specifically with the north west, what will the report look like?

Matt Carthy: In respect of the issues pertaining to the impact of construction inflation on the cost of the project, I agree with Deputy Catherine Murphy that we need to get an analysis of what that is going to mean in 2022. I note that today EUROSTAT has indicated that Irish price inflation is set to breach 5% for the first time since the financial crash. Obviously, that is having a big impact on many...

Matt Carthy: I find the letter from the Department of Justice interesting. It reiterates GSOC's mission to provide efficient, fair and independent oversight. Any of us who have had engagement with people going through the GSOC process could not appropriate the word "efficient" to the process. It can be very long and drawn out. I would argue that in many cases the GSOC process is used by the Department...
