View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, my Department engaged in a consultation process with the motor industry and others in relation to restucturing of VRT and motor tax. In addition, a number of proposals were submitted for consideration by the industry in relation to the registration of motor vehicles. The outcome of the consultation will form the basis of decisions to be taken in the context of Budget 2013. The Deputy can be assured that my decisions in this area will be taken for sound business reasons.
