Would it be fair to say that a lot of the projects you're working on now stem from a prioritisation of public transport, including rail by the last government, which of course had a strong Green Party element?

So you're confident that the current government, which many would say has shifted its focus to roads, is still committed to financing public transport, including rail?

Mary Constantine, CEO of Inred Erin.

Thanks for joining us this morning and best of luck in your new role.

Breakfast Business with Enterprise Ireland on Newstalk.

And welcome back to Breakfast Business with me, Tom McEnany, standing in for Joe Lynham.

Now, Circle K, Ireland's leading forecourt and convenience retailer, has officially opened its first dedicated electric vehicle hub at Clonshaw and City Avenue in Dublin.

The Clonshaw Hub features five superfast chargers and ten bays, while City Avenue offers four superfast chargers and eight bays.

The superfast EV chargers will be amongst the fastest available in Ireland, delivering up to 400 kilowatts each.

Joining me now to discuss the development is Ciara Foxton, Managing Director of Circle K Ireland.

Good morning, Ciara.

Now...

Let's begin.

Tell me what you've launched this morning and what is your overall plan?

Tell me Ciara, 400 kilowatts for people who aren't

I've been an EV user since 2018.

An early adopter, Tom.

I consider myself, you know, an early adopter.

I was there when there was feckle of a network in Ireland and I was having to queue up and I was in a ring ESP almost every time I used the charger to say, can you reset this because it's broken again?

I got to be very familiar with the guys in the ESP e-cars.
