Centra The Reeks among new EV recharging hubs

Published

on

Centra The Reeks in Killarney is one of 53 new high-power electric vehicle (EV) recharging hubs announced by Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien. These hubs will be located across Ireland's national road network.

Almost €8 million has been allocated to support grants for this recharging infrastructure, with chargers expected to be operational by the end of this year. The initiative will deliver 175 new fast and ultra-fast recharging points, making it more convenient for EV drivers on longer journeys.
Minister O’Brien stated that these steps aim to make electric vehicles accessible for everyone and encourage more people to switch to electric. The new hubs are part of a broader plan to establish a reliable recharging network, ensuring a maximum distance of 60km between hubs. Funding for these hubs comes through the Light Duty Vehicle (LDV) initiative, operated by Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland (ZEVI) and delivered by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII).

Following the recent success of Maryann Heidtke with ‘The Shoemaker’, Killarney Camera Club has featured the runner-up in the Novice Environmental Portrait category.

Anne Kelly secured the second-place spot with a striking photograph of a skilled craftsman repairing spectacles.

Captured from the other side of a window, the image immediately draws the viewer in and beautifully portrays the subject at work.

At first glance, the photograph has an almost old-fashioned appearance. However, a closer look reveals an intriguing collection of glasses, with modern frames displayed alongside vintage and costume eyewear.

The image is a wonderful example of environmental portraiture, showing the craftsman surrounded by his tools and the finished pieces of his trade.
