Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters
Electric Vehicles
2:00 am
Martin Conway (Fine Gael)
I am in unison with my two colleagues on this. I believe we need to withdraw our support for this directive, specifically when it comes to the car rental fleet. We need to make it abundantly clear to President von der Leyen and her team that this is not acceptable, it is not going to happen, and we are not supportive of it. We cannot turn around and decimate the car rental fleet and, by extension, have a serious impact on certain important elements of our tourism industry.
