<h3>Fianna F&aacute;il Councillor, Michael Cahill has suggested that if officials in the Departments of Tourism and Transport were seeking initiatives common to both, and supportive of a cleaner environment, they should be looking to introduce additional funding support, other than SEAI grants, to encourage B&amp;Bs, hotel and guest house owners to install Electric Vehicle Chargers to be availed of by their guests.</h3>
<p>&ldquo;This could be the simple way to extend the network of EV chargers throughout the country, encourage the changeover to EV transport and provide a service to those already driving EVs. Environmentally and business wise, this appears to be the way to go and we need to facilitate it in whatever way possible,&#8221; said Councillor Cahill.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Currently a visitor to Glenbeigh, where I live, driving an EV, will need to travel 13km to Killorglin and queue there to use one of the two chargers. This is less than ideal, while a charger at the place they are staying would alleviate a lot of the pressure of planning one&rsquo;s road trip,&#8221; added the Rossbeigh based Councillor.</p>
<p>&ldquo;If we can encourage many of the proprietors of these B&amp;Bs,hotels and Guest Houses to install EV chargers, we will help our Tourism business, we will help the Environment, while also reducing queues at our Public charging points&rdquo; added Councillor Cahill.</p>
