Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 February 2014
297. Deputy Eoghan Murphy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when he plans to introduce regulations permitting local authorities to introduce by-laws that would designate electric vehicle charging points on public roads as electric vehicle parking only, as well as permitting local authorities to assign dedicated public parking spaces as car club only spaces.

View answerDraft regulations to provide for charging points for electric vehicles and for on-street parking spaces for car clubs are currently being finalised by the Office of the Attorney General. These regulations will deliver largely the same outcomes as those envisaged by the Deputy's 2011 Private Members Bill. It is my intention to sign the regulations as soon as drafting is complete and I expect to do this within the next two months.
