That's the view of Ford Ireland MD Eddie Murphy, who said today that a smaller decrease in May than in preceding months was 'no comfort'.
"We’re facing a fall of 65 percent for the entire year," the Ford boss said. Along with other elements in the motor trade, Mr Murphy has consistently called for a scrappage scheme to boost sales.
The calls were equally consistently ignored by the Government. In Germany, France and Italy, and more recently in Britain, scrappage schemes have resulted in significantly increased sales.
