\"\"The Environment Minister says the government will be introducing more charging points to get people to switch to electric cars.<\/p>\n

Denis Naughten has been outlining plans to make Ireland more environmentally friendly within the next decade which will involve a spend of \u20ac22bn.<\/p>\n

These include a ban on cars with tailpipes by the year 2030 and a ban on fossil fuels.<\/p>\n

Minister Naughten said they are trying to make it easier for people to switch.<\/p>\n

He said: “There’s going to be significant investment in upgrading our existing network and extending our network across the country.<\/p>\n

“We’re already committed between the Government and the ESB to approximately \u20ac3m this year, which is a significant increase on the investment over the last couple of years.<\/p>\n

“That will ramp up over the coming decade to meet that target of not selling any new fossil fuel cars by 2030.”<\/p>\n
