Motor vehicle deadline extension
Seán Crowe asked whether the deadline under the Non-Use of Motor Vehicles Act would be extended; the Taoiseach undertook to consult the responsible Minister and clarify whether late-posted applications could be accepted.
The deadline in the Non-Use of Motor Vehicles Act ended yesterday. We see from our television screens and from the number of telephone calls to our constituency offices the difficulties people have in this regard; a common denominator seems to be difficulties for parents of emigrants. Will there be a directive from the Minister extending the deadline?
Comment on this
I will consult the Minister, Deputy Hogan. I presume that if those things were put in the post or dropped through the letter boxes, even though they might be just outside the official closing time, they could be accepted. I will have the Minister make contact or make a public comment on it.
