131. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Transport his views on matters raised in correspondence (details supplied); his plans to address the matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53913/26]

As Minister of State for International & Road Transport, Logistics, Rail & Ports, I wish to advise that there are no plans to introduce a private utility vehicle tax class at present.

Motor taxation rates are set by the Minister of Finance and any changes to rates would be a matter for consideration by that Department as part of Budget 2027 preparations.
