Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Revenue has taken action to address potential delays in vehicle registration requirements. Since 2011 Revenue has provided a service where motor dealers can avail of a pre-registration examination at NCTS centres. There was a difficulty where the period of validity for codes ran out after 50 days but the Revenue has extended this to 150 days and that will address the difficulty. Officials have examined the two cases brought to their attention by Deputies Coonan and McHugh. In one case, they contacted the dealer directly and that seems to have been resolved while they have invited the other dealer to contact them directly to see if that case can be resolved. I may be missing something and, therefore, I will bring the Deputy's submission to the attention of Revenue to see if further action is required.
