Minister for Finance

I propose to take Questions Nos. 64 and 69 together.

I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that, in respect of registrations and examinations carried out in the National Car Testing Service Centres, a resumption proposal has been submitted by the Road Safety Authority to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport that would see a limited number of Centres resume on 8 June 2020 for NCT testing. If this resumption proposal is accepted then the VRT service would recommence on a scaled back basis from 29 June 2020. As details become available they will be updated on the Revenue website.

I am further informed by Revenue that registration on the Revenue Online Service of new cars and cars that have been pre-inspected has not been interrupted.

Question No. 65 answered with Question No. 61.
