Mr. Moroney's argument is that there has been no consultation and the association does not know what the requirements will entail. His defence is that contractors are carrying out a self-assessment, but there is no mechanism to monitor what type of self-assessment it is or how reliable it is.

Any motorist or anybody that operates a vehicle is required to have an NCT. If a similar scheme were in operation for the average motorist, he or she could argue that he or she had checked the car and it is all right, it is grand, it is only four years old. Does Mr. Moroney accept my point?
