Clare's Green Party candidate insists her party's policies will make electric vehicle ownership realistic in rural communities. In August, six GAA clubs in this county were deemed eligible for fully funded EV charging infrastructure under the Shared Island initiative. Despite this, the grants for purchasing a new EV fell by €1,500 in the last year, which the Green Party contends was a decision made based on budgetary constraints that favoured investment in local link routes instead. Inagh Senator and Green Deputy Leader Roisín Garvey says their ideas are making a difference, but need greater buy in.
