135 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Transport his plans to include the inspection of tax and insurance certificates as part of the NCTS; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26762/04]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport (Mr. Callely)

On behalf of the State, NCTS carries out periodic roadworthiness tests on passenger cars that are four or more years old in accordance with Directive 96/96/EC. I have no plans to include the inspection of tax and insurance certificates as part of the NCT or to involve NCTS in checking tax and insurance certificates generally.
