Minister O'Gorman emphasized that the proposed strategy addresses the upcoming decline in motor tax revenue as the public transitions to electric vehicles, stating, 'It does flag the issue that as more people move to e-cars as we have fewer petrol and diesel cars, VRT, motor tax is going to decrease, and that's big chunk of the income.' He reassured that while they face pushback from coalition partners, the government intends to pursue meaningful proposals until its term ends.
Facing opposition from coalition partners, Minister O'Gorman shared, 'There has been pushback, yeah, and there's been pushback on some other pieces as well that we've been proposing in terms of the road strategy.' He reiterated the commitment to continue working on significant initiatives, refusing to let any challenges deter the Cabinet's ongoing efforts in the lead-up to the general election.
