729 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Transport; Tourism and Sport if his attention has been drawn to the anomaly whereby an national car test certificate runs only to the anniversary date of the registration of the car; his views on whether it is unfair as, for example, although a person with a five year old car may decide at the expiry of their NCT to take the car off the road for a number of months, their subsequent NCT certificate will not run for one year from the successful completion of the test but rather only to the anniversary date of the car’s registration; if he will, in the context of the introduction of statutory pre-declaration of taking cars off the road, engage with the European Commission as allowed under Article 4.2 of Directive 2009/40/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to subject to special provisions vehicles which are temporarily withdrawn from circulation to correct this anomaly; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
