My Department does not own or rent any vehicles.

Of the four agencies under the remit of my Department - Pobal, the Western Development Commission, the Charities Regulatory Authority, and Water Safety Ireland - only Water Safety Ireland operates vehicles.

Water Safety Ireland currently uses 10 vehicles, none of which are hybrid or electric.  When these vehicles are due to be replaced, WSI will examine the possibility of doing so with hybrid or electric vehicles.
