CAR SALES

New car sales in the Ireland  are  up 1.7 percent on the same time last year apparently.

Meanwhile used car imports into the country have increased massively, up nearly 40 percent on the previous year.

The sterling effect is pretty evident in the car market, even with the tariff imposed on imports via the VRT regime.

Overall one would surmise that the economy is in robust health if one was going by the car figures
