MOTION NO.4

MOTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

This Council agrees to promote the use of electric cars as part of our efforts to reduce carbon emissions and tackle climate change. To this end the Council in partnership with ESB and the Irish Electric Vehicle Owners Association will paint or otherwise mark in green with appropriate signage those charging spaces that are on public roads and proactively engage with private owners to paint or otherwise mark in green with appropriate signage those spaces on private land. The council will also seek to have these spaces reserved exclusively for the purposes of recharging electric cars.

REPORT:

The Council will proactively engage with the development of these facilities and have to date agreed 2 locations in Rathcoole with the ESB which are operational. Two more have been located in the vicinity of Walkinstown roundabout by the ESB .
