I have a brief request to the Leader to raise an issue with the Minister for Transport, Deputy Eamon Ryan, or with Revenue. I recently changed my car and the garage proprietor brought me out to his yard and showed me a whole fleet of new cars which are bound and unable to move because of a backlog in registration. The good news is that car sales are apparently up significantly but it looks like there is not a sufficient workforce to cope. People might want to buy a car with a 241 registration plate but some of them may be unable to do so before March. That is not really good enough. If a fellow buys a new car, he should have the privilege of driving it in the year he bought it. I ask the Leader to raise the issue. Whether it is a Revenue matter or a transport matter, I am not sure. I will leave it in the Leader's hands.
