438. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will put in place a fairer motor tax system in order that newer more expensive vehicles pay more than older less valuable vehicles as the current system penalises persons who cannot afford newer cars and allows situations where a person with a brand new Mercedes pays less than the person with a 20-year-old family hatch; his views on the decline in national motor tax receipts due to the emissions-based system and that the figures will continue to decline; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
