Mr. Declan Meally:

Again, policy decisions are taken at departmental level at the Department of Transport with the Minister. That looks at the budget that is available in terms of where the best spread of the budget is. We would, therefore, look at the numbers of cars that are coming in and the affordability. The decision at the time on the capping was brought in by the Minister, in discussions with his officials and ourselves, to look at where this should land. The majority of the cars and fleets were coming in at approximately €40,000 to €50,000 and those were considered to be the ones that should attract the grant aid as such.
