I got approval earlier this year in the first quarter of the national EV rollout plan, not a strategy, an actual plan for new charging points that are being rolled out and we're investing heavily in it.
I accept fully, that many people driving older cars like that are doing it because they can't afford to change their car. This will help.
Mr O'Brien said the airport is of "strategic importance" with over 36 million passengers passing through last year.
