Questions (72, 73)

Robert Troy

Question:

72 Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Finance if he will consider a proposal made by an organisation (details supplied) with regard to the introduction of a system whereby there would be two registration periods in one year that is 12 WH 999 and then 12B WH 99 to help bring a more continuous approach to the car industry as at present the vast majority of the business is done in the first quarter of the year and this is running the risk of the organisation introducing seasonal employment.

Question:

73 Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Finance if he will consider a further proposal by an organisation (details supplied) to introduce a system whereby second hand cars can be re-registered in a different county of choice, as in the case of a car originally registered in the west of Ireland whose new purchaser requires a Dublin registered plate, which cannot happen at present but the organisation believes this would be an added advantage to the second hand car market with no cost to the public finances.

Written answers

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 72 and 73 together.

As the Deputy may be aware these matters are the subject of a Pre-Budget submission and as such will be considered in the context of the forthcoming Budget.
