Question:

224. Deputy Pat Deering asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the way a tractor owner, who imported a tractor from the UK seven years ago and used it only for off-road purposes and now wishes to sell it or use it on the road, can regularise the situation if they do not have a tax book or an Irish registration.

A vehicle that is currently unregistered can be registered with the Office of the Revenue Commissioners. In accordance with motor tax legislation, a vehicle is required to be registered prior to being used in a public place or if a notification of transfer of vehicle ownership is being made.
