Climate Change Policy
Dail Éireann — 2021-03-24
============================================================

Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

I thank the Minister. On that point, at the climate committee yesterday we heard from Dr. Lynn Sloman who referred to a Swiss example of good rural public transport. Built into it were performance and service standards that were binding. That is the type of direction we should be moving in. I will let the Minister come back to me on the point on electric vehicles.
I refer to the Road Traffic (Amendment) (Personal Light Electric Vehicles) Bill 2021. Does the Minister know how quickly that legislation will move forward? We have done pre-legislative scrutiny at the transport committee. When might we expect to see the amendments and the legislation enacted?
