I know the Minister was hoping to have the Bill brought back to this House this week before the summer recess, but does he have any plans in the interim? There are thousands of these cars on the road. We are going into the summer season and there is no regulation or even a register for write-offs. Does the Minister have plans in the interim period to address that? Was there consultation of any sort or do we await the Bill? The Minister said he hoped the Bill would come before the House in the early autumn but, given the length of time we have been waiting, is he imposing a sense of urgency on the Bill? Is he pressing for it to be brought back to the House at the earliest possible opportunity? If not, we run the risk of deaths or serious accidents on our roads because of the increase in the volume of write-offs being imported into the State.
