An independent audit has revealed that Ireland’s electric vehicle (EV) grant scheme was overpaid to several dealership groups, raising concerns over financial mismanagement. The investigation found discrepancies in how grants were allocated, with some recipients receiving more than they were entitled to under the program’s rules. Authorities are now reviewing the findings to determine whether corrective action is needed, including potential clawbacks of excess funds. The case highlights broader questions about oversight in public spending on green energy initiatives.
