I am aware that manually-operated lawn mowers are no longer being manufactured here.
If the Deputy, in speaking of trade replacements, is referring to parts for maintenance of the mowers formerly made here, I understand that spare parts are available for the model which was last produced here.
As regards imported lawn mowers, my Department freely issues licences to import, without payment of duty, all hand-operated lawn mowers and parts.
