I welcome the Chairman of the Revenue Commissioners and her colleagues. My question is on VRT. How much money does the State refund for VRT rebates on the export of used cars? A large number of used cars are exported from Ireland weekly. We have all seen the advertisements stating "we buy used cars for cash". It is a lucrative business. How much does the State pay in rebates? Are the cars roadworthy and where are they being re-employed? What is their value and what is the average cost of a rebate? Does Revenue suspect that the scheme has been designed to take money out of the State? I am half suspicious that it is a scam.
