Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 October 2023
354. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science the amount of funding provided by the Higher Education Authority towards the cost of installation of electric vehicle charging points at Irish universities in 2022 and to date in 2023, in tabular form. [43365/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe installation costs of electric vehicle charging points at Irish Universities are eligible for HEA funded expenditure under for example, the Devolved Capital Grant and through various Capital Investment Programmes.
However, it is not possible to isolate these costs, particularly in the case of general building projects as many Universities would include them as part of the enabling works packages for capital projects, either for future proofing for EVs by way of installation of ducting, or for the installation of electric charging points themselves.
