Mr. Michael Moroney:

The key response that has been given to the Deputy's question is that there has been no consultation. We do not know what the NCT for a tractor will be because the RSA has not told us. It has not been agreed what a roadworthiness test for a tractor will be in Europe. I do not want to go into technical matters in too much detail but some of these need to be addressed, such as the brake testing of an agricultural tractor compared to a truck. If the technical matters are not addressed, we are looking at a Bill being passed into law without knowing what its impact is going to be. We know that the impact in terms of accidents is quite small. This is within the group that does not require a roadworthiness test at the moment.
