161 Mr. Killeen asked the Minister for the Environment when compulsory MOT testing for private cars will be introduced; and the role, if any, local authorities will play in licensing operators. [9692/97]
I refer to the reply to Question No. 134 of 8 April 1997. Local authorities will not have a role to play in relation to the appointment of the franchisee; the appointment will be made by the Minister for the Environment.
