Question 39: To ask the Minister for Transport the measures he is considering to address the growing crisis in the road transport sector particularly in relation to the motor industry; if he has examined scrappage schemes as they currently operate in other EU states; if he has made policy suggestions to the Department of Finance on the introduction of a scrappage scheme here; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am aware of the difficulties facing the Irish motor industry at present, but the introduction of a scrappage scheme is a matter for the Minister for Finance. I have not made any policy proposals to him on this matter.
