Minister of state Jack Chambers has hit out at NCT Ireland over the company’s announcement that NCT centres are going cashless, saying it has not been agreed, nor is it happening.

NCT Ireland which is run by Applus+ faced a backlash from the public and politicians in recent days after they announced on social media that they were “saying goodbye to cash”.
