Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 June 2004
441 Mr. Kehoe asked the Minister for Transport, further to Questions Nos. 320 and 321 of 25 May 2004, if a trailer is being used to carry large goods such as items (details supplied), if it will be liable for vehicle testing; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17281/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs set out in my replies to Questions Nos. 320 and 321 of 25 May, trailers, other than agricultural trailers, are liable for periodic roadworthiness testing if they are constructed primarily to carry goods of any description and if they have a design gross vehicle weight exceeding 3,500 kg. or have an unladen weight exceeding 1,254 kg.
Agricultural trailers are trailers owned by persons engaged in agriculture which are designed and used primarily for work on the land and which are used on the public road only incidentally to such work.
