'We're in such an emergency, the state infrastructure that's for the common good should have been exempted from the planning commission.'

A"lack of charging infrastructure" has meant that 130 electric buses are yet to hit the roads, according to the National Transport Authority.from Northern Ireland firm Wright Bus at a cost of €80.4m.

"Then, when they went to put in the ancillary equipment – the wires and the switches which stand outside the substation – they were refused an exemption, and they had to go through the planning process again," he said.
