Seanad debates

Wednesday, 4 December 2002

There are also changes in VRT. We have an extraordinarily high level of VRT when compared to other European countries. That will become important in the near future when the cost of cars before taxation is equalised throughout the EU, leading to a situation where Irish cars will be much more expensive than all of our EU colleagues. That is a serious situation for motorists. We can say we want to get people out of their cars but we do not have a decent public transport that provides a realistic alternative to driving. I object to the continuous harassment of motorists by this Minister.
