I'm not going to be able to bridge the full affordability gap, but I think to be fair by looking at this, an additional €5,000, bringing it up to €8,500, is not an insignificant support.
Mr O'Brien told the Dáil that Ireland's reputation would also be affected if "capacity is restricted at our main international gateway".
I accept fully, that many people driving older cars like that are doing it because they can't afford to change their car. This will help.
