I can advise the Deputy that my Department currently does not have any electric vehicle (EV) charging points that are available for use by its staff. My Department has two office areas:

- 2nd and 3rd floors, Block 1, Miesian Plaza, 50 - 58 Baggot Street Lower, Dublin 2; and

- 2nd and 3rd floors, Montague Court, 7 - 11 Montague Street, Dublin 2.

The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY) occupy the second and third floors at Miesian Plaza. The leaseholder is the Office of Public Works, with the Department of Health as lead tenants. While there are EV charging points in Miesian Plaza, they are currently not designated for use by staff in my Department. The number of EV points in Miesian Plaza and their use is currently under review by my Department.
