SIMI call for scrappage scheme to boost motor industry

The Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI) has called for the Government to reinstate the scrappage scheme in the upcoming Budget for motorists in order to boost the motoring industry.

Alan Nolan, Director General of the SIMI, the introduction of a new scrappage scheme would benefit the Government as well as the motor industry by generating additional tax revenues from car sales, while also safeguarding jobs within the industry.
