People feel badly about this and other taxes. On the one hand, the Government makes much of reductions in income tax but motor tax is one of a number of charges that are not income related. They are hitting people hard. Motorists should be able to see that this money is being put to a use that will improve their quality of life. It should be put into the improvement of roads. Despite this 12% increase in motor taxation, the amount spent on roads is not increasing but reducing. The grant last year for non-national roads was €438 million. As the same amount has been allocated this year, there is no increase for inflation. Effectively, the amount is being reduced. Other allocations have been reduced. The budget for restoration, for example, has been reduced from €221 million to €216 million.
