Number of new cars licensed down 12% in November from year earlier

New car registrations have declined since last year.

The number of new cars licensed slumped by 12.4% in November from a year earlier, show new figures from the CSO. A total of 1,468 new cars were licensed for the first time last month, compared to 1,676 in November 2019. 

However, the CSO said the monthly decrease follows two months of strong growth.
