Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if a log book may be released to An Garda Síochána for a vehicle (details supplied) in County Wicklow for its inspection in order to pay road tax at the large public service vehicle rate, in view of the fact that the vehicle registration tax has been paid; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

The issuing of a Vehicle Registration Certificate is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport. I understand that Certificates are issued on first taxing of a vehicle. I understand also that provision exists, in certain circumstances, for access to information from the vehicle register.
