Vehicle taxation and banking legislation
Mattie McGrath asks about extending vehicle-tax arrangements for off-road and vintage vehicles and about stronger banking legislation; the Tánaiste notes that the Road Traffic Act is already law.
With regard to the Road Traffic (No. 2) Act 2011, will there be an extension of time for people who are endeavouring to tax vehicles which have been off the road? What about vintage clubs and people who own vintage vehicles, which are really part of our heritage? They require understanding of this issue. Will the Central Bank (consolidation) Bill bring real teeth to deal with banks rather than having us discussing inquiries and codes of practice, etc?
