I move recommendation No. 7:
In page 58, after line 31, to insert the following:"55.The Minister shall, within 6 months of the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before Dáil Éireann a report on the costs and economic benefits of exempting the sale of motorvans from VRT.".
This amendment proposes that the rate of VRT which applies to certain vehicles should be looked at because the vehicles in question are not used as often as other vehicles. These vehicles can be beneficial to tourism in Ireland, particularly in the context of the Wild Atlantic Way and Ireland's Ancient East initiatives. They should be promoted so that people can travel from place to place as they explore this country.
