“The OECD was of the view that Ireland should consider congestion charges. It was outlined that congestion charges should not be seen as a charge on all private vehicles, rather it is to make drivers pay for the negative externalities they are producing.”

Of course. Won’t make a bit of difference to climate change because we have no public transport system that’s fit for purpose so everyone will still need to drive, but at least we’ll make people poorer.

“The level of taxation on conventional cars is also insufficient to encourage a shift to EVs.”

Yeah to be fair if there’s one thing we can all agree on it’s that road tax in Ireland is too low. You could also try encouraging people to switch by lowering taxes more on EVs, but that would result in making less people poorer.
