Is the Minister aware that there can be great difficulty in ascertaining whether a particular motor vehicle is covered by insurance? Is there a recommendation, or does he intend to implement a recommendation, to provide a central registry that would enable a person who received injuries from a motor vehicle to find out if insurance on the vehicle is provided? The Garda on occasion do not or cannot provide the necessary information.

That would appear to be for another Department.

Taxing motor cars is the responsibility of the Minister for the Environment and I would ask the Deputy to address his question to him.

Is this recommendation in the report?

There were recommendations in the 1983 report but none of them is being implemented.

I do not agree with the Deputy, but I do not want to enter into an argument with him because this is not my responsibility.

If the Minister would tell us the areas that have been complied with we would all know what has been done.
