That was my point. If we can see the common trends, I presume a request has to be made for the resources to manage those and upscale the various teams. I appreciate Mr. Walsh’s reply.
During Covid, a decision was made that vehicles did not need to have NCTs or CVRTs in order to be taxed. That requirement never returned. If they do not need it to be taxed, is there a link with vehicles not being tested? Is it intended to restore the requirement? I dealt with someone recently whose vehicle was impounded because it had not been tested. It was right that it was impounded, but people used to get a warning every so often about not being able to tax their cars if they did not have them tested. There were warnings built into the system. Will that link be restored or is it gone forever?
