“We are sending a strong signal of Ireland’s commitment to the clean energy transition, as the building sector has a vast potential to contribute to a carbon-neutral and competitive economy,” he said.It was reported in July that just 33 public electric vehicle charge points had been approved under a scheme announced three years ago that was intended to develop up to 200 charge points per annum.
But one scheme for public charging points on streets or in car parks has had little take-up among local authorities, figures in July showed. As of July, only three local authorities had signed up to the on-street public charge point scheme, with Louth County Council getting the all-clear for the highest number of charge points of any council in the scheme.
