US average car age is 10 yrs
Sweden is 10.2 yrs
Gernamy is about 8.5 years

AND they all have car industries which the Irish do not have.

It illustrates how the Irish are economically illiterate to artificially promote the purchase of new cars by a tax bias (CO2 ) and transfer 6Billion euro per annum out of their economy. It has major opportunity costs.

The Irish car age should be longer than car manufacturing countries …..
