214 Deputy Mary Alexandra White asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform his views on whether any change to the format of car registration plates, that would entail the year of registration being replaced by the CO2 emission band of a car, would have implications for security matters here; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
