Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2022-09-21
============================================================

Brian Leddin (GP), Limerick City

I move amendment No. 2:
In page 53, line 37, to delete “and refuelling infrastructure”.
I will take all these together. Amendments Nos. 2 and 10 to 16, inclusive, are about clarifying the legislation around zero-emission vehicles. The existing draft goes some way to explaining what a zero-emission vehicle is, but it does not go far enough. The Minister is on the record as saying a zero-emission vehicle goes beyond electric vehicles and includes electric bikes, cargo bikes, etc. It is important that we get the legislation right to ensure that the zero emission vehicles Ireland, ZEVI, office is set up correctly and has a sound legislative underpinning to ensure it does not just look at electric vehicles, but has a broader remit. This will be critically important when the office is transferred over to TII, as I understand is the intention.
