121. To ask the Minister for Finance the reason for the delay in respect of vehicle registration tax registration, with garages in the midlands having to travel significant distances to meet officers; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19149/16]

I am informed by Revenue that they have checked with the service provider, Applus, about the Tullamore NCT Centre and, while the centre is busy, there are appointment slots available.  I am also informed by Revenue that all of the NCT Centres in the midlands area provide a full VRT service and are likewise busy but with slots available. Unless they have a requirement for a very specific time slot that is not available at their local NCT Centre, it should not be necessary for garages to have to travel beyond their local area.
