The company's CEO James McCarthy says the move would ensure that all cars imported into the country met Euro 6 emissions standards.
He believes the move would prevent the displacement of more than 66,000 new cars a year, generating more than €400m a year in tax take to the Irish Government. The tax take from each new car sale is around €8,500 compared to €2,500 generated by each new car sale.
It would also help the country achieve its commitments on reducing carbon emissions, at a time when we're facing enormous fines for not meeting them.
