‘The consumer is crippled’ - Should NCT fees increase?

The Road Safety Authority is seeking an increase in NCT fees, driving tests and other motor services.

Consumer journalist Siobhan Maguire said the proposed fee increase follows “the old adage that when money is needed by Government agencies, let’s go hammer the consumer”.The Pat Kenny Show“If we look at the cost the consumers are already subject to – on top of taxing and insuring your car, you have tolls on ten Irish roads increasing their prices.

“Things are pretty busy for the NCT and that’s part of that is because drivers nowadays have a tendency to put their car through the NCT and see what fails,” he said. The RSA oversees other companies running motor services, such as Aplus, a Spanish company that conducts the NCT in Ireland.
