The Department actively encourages the use of environmental transport through the provision of electric vehicle charging points. We hope that this will in turn encourage the use of electric vehicles thereby reducing the environmental impact of car emissions on customers and staff.
The Department has engaged with the Office of Public Works (OPW) for the provision of electric vehicle charging points in state-owned car parking spaces managed by the Department.
The OPW has to date completed the installation of electric vehicle charging points in the following locations:
| Location | No. of charging points |
|---|---|
| Longford Government Buildings, Ballinalee Road, Longford, Co. Longford | 2 |
| Sligo Intreo Centre, Government Offices, Cranmore Road, Sligo, Co. Sligo | 4 |
| Buncrana Intreo Centre & Headquarters, McCarter’s Road, Buncrana, Co. Donegal | 2 |
| Finglas Intreo Centre, Mellowes Road, Finglas, Dublin 11 | 2 |
| Arklow Intreo Centre, Castle Park, Arklow, Co. Wicklow | 2 |
| Navan Road Intreo Centre, Navan Road, Cabra, Dublin 7 | 1 |
| Waterford Intreo Centre/Regional Headquarters, Government Buildings, Cork Road, Waterford, Co. Waterford | 2 |
