Low earners should be given €10k grant to buy electric vehicles in effort to cut emissions — report
Lower earners should be given grants of up to €10,000 to switch to electric vehicles to help Ireland cut its transport emissions, the Climate Change Advisory Council has said. In its annual report on the transport sector, the council said even in the most optimistic scenario, our emissions are expected to significantly exceed targets by 2030, and the Government must act now to turn the tide. 'Transport is Ireland's biggest source of energy demand, and emissions from the sector must reduce by half if the sector is meet its target,' the council's chair Marie Donnelly said. To achieve this, urgent and decisive action must now be taken by Government to end our reliance on fossil fuels and deliver the kind of transformative change that is required in this sector. Ending the reliance on 'harmful and expensive' fossil fuels is key to this, with an increase in new battery electric vehicle registrations needed. It recommended grants of up to €10,000 on electric vehicles costing less than €35,000 for lower-income households, particularly in areas with limited access to public transport. Furthermore, the council said there needed to be an accelerated roll-out of publicly accessible electric vehicle charging infrastructure alongside an 'ambitious' roll-out of electricity network reinforcement. Separately, it also recommended an expansion of the school transport scheme and wider improvements in public transport services. About one in five journeys are for the purpose of education, with journeys by car resulting in significant air quality issues near schools, increased transport emissions and congestion. 'The Government must shift more of these journeys onto buses, trains, walking and cycling. This will require further funding, a renewed focus on road safety and easier access to sustainable travel options,' it said. Highlighting recent storms such as Darragh and Éowyn, which demonstrated how vulnerable Ireland's transport infrastructure can be, further measures should be taken to reflect the risks we face from extreme weather and climate change. The council said progress in identifying climate risks and vulnerabilities, as well as investment in mitigation measures, had been slower in rail, aviation and maritime sectors. Ms Donnelly added the Government must scale up investment to improve the climate resilience of vulnerable and critical transport infrastructure.

CCAC recommends extra €10k in grants over purchase of EVs
The Climate Change Advisory Council (CCAC) is recommending that the Government provides an additional €10,000 in grants to low income households for the purchase of electric vehicles, particularly in areas with limited access to public transport. It is also calling for scrappage schemes and other transport-related incentives to help accelerate the switch to battery-electric vehicles and decarbonise private transport. The transport sector already accounts for 43% of all energy used in Ireland. However, the sale of highly efficient battery electric vehicles fell by 24% last year, while greenhouse gas emissions reductions from public transport and more efficient cars were effectively wiped out because of the growth in demand for transport. The CCAC is alarmed by these trends, especially since a 50% reduction in transport emissions must be delivered by 2030. Its annual review of the transport sector calls for urgent Government intervention to support sustained emissions reductions and more to be done to encourage people to switch to public transport. It notes that 773,000 primary and post-primary pupils do not have access to the School Transport Scheme; that 50% of students travel to their place of education by car; and that almost one in five car journeys nationwide are for the purpose of education. The council says it strongly supports expanding eligibility for the heavily subsidised school bus scheme as well as greater integration of school transport and public transport services. It is also calling for an expansion of the Safe Routes to School Programme to support the required shift in the sector. According to its report, the total stock of Battery Electric Vehicles on Irish roads at the end of last year was 72,640. This is just 3.05% of the total passenger car fleet. The Climate Change Advisory Council wants existing incentives for electric vehicles to be maintained and enhanced but says the EV grant system needs to be refocused. Its call is for increased supports for purchasing more efficient and cheaper electric vehicles, including second-hand EVs. However, it says those additional supports should be focused on areas with the poorest access to public transport services and Just Transition Principles. Additional grants of up to €10,000 for fully electric vehicles costing less than €35,000 for lower income households will be key, it says. It is also calling for an accelerated roll-out of publicly accessible electric vehicle charging infrastructure alongside the ambitious roll-out of electricity network reinforcement. At the end of last year there were 2,802 publicly accessible "slower" AC charging points and 786 fast DC charging points for electric vehicles. This equates to seven charging points per 10,000 people in Ireland, which is considerably below the EU-27 average of 20 charging points per 10,000 people, or the average of 13 per 10,000 people in the UK. Over €294 million was allocated in funding for active travel infrastructure this year, bringing the total investment since 2020 to over €1.25 billion. In terms of mode share, cycling increased slightly from 1.8% of journeys in 2022 to 1.9% in 2023. Meanwhile, walking declined from 19.3% of trips to 17.7% overall. Commenting on the launch of the Transport Review, Marie Donnelly, Chair of the Climate Change Advisory Council said: "Transport is Ireland's biggest source of energy demand, and emissions from the sector must reduce by half if the sector is meet its target. "To achieve this, urgent and decisive action must now be taken by Government to end our reliance on fossil fuels and deliver the kind of transformative change that is required in this sector. "We have seen signs of progress in public transport with more than half of the redesigned BusConnects network in Dublin implemented, a 48% increase in passenger boardings on redesigned routes, and a significant growth in the number of EV and hybrid buses on our roads. "However much more must be done to improve the integration of school transport with public transport services, which will be vital in helping to reduce car journeys and tackle emissions."

Winning ticket for €250m EuroMillions draw sold in Ireland
The winning ticket for Tuesday's €250 million EuroMillions draw was sold in Ireland, surpassing the previous largest amount won here on a National Lottery game by €75 million. There was one winner of the jackpot, which had been rolling over since reaching its maximum cap of €250 million on June 6th. The winning numbers were: 13, 22, 23, 44, 49, and the two Lucky Stars were 3 and 5. It is the 18th time a EuroMillions jackpot winning ticket has been sold in the State. The previous record win was a €175 million in February 2019, with the ticket on that occasion sold at Reilly's Daybreak on Main Street, The Naul, Co Dublin. READ MORE National Lottery chief executive Cian Murphy advised Irish EuroMillions players to check their tickets very carefully to see if they have won and, if they are the winner, to 'keep it safe and contact National Lottery HQ'. 'The details surrounding the winning ticket will be revealed over the coming days,' he said. 'With such a big win we have procedures to follow, but we will reveal the winning location as soon as we can. 'While this is a massive win, it can come as a shock to a winner and we advise them to stay calm, get independent legal and financial advice and contact us as soon as they can.' In July 2005, Dolores McNamara from Limerick became Ireland's first EuroMillions winner, banking more than €115 million. The last Irish winner was in February 2020 when a Co Mayo family shared the €17 million jackpot after buying a ticket at Mulroy's Londis Store in Castlebar.
