Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 July 2018
556. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of charging ports and parking bays for electric vehicles at his Department building and other buildings used by his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28895/18]
View answerOther than at airports and aerodromes, there are no parking bays for electric vehicles at any building used by my Department. There is, however, one eCar charging point at the Custom House currently. My Department’s Workplace Travel Plan (WTP) aims to encourage greater staff use of sustainable transport options when travelling to and from work, and to ensure that, where practicable, staff opt for sustainable transport options when conducting business on behalf of the Department. My Department will keep the matter under review as the use of electric cars increases.
