    Cousin of mine asked me a question last night I couldn't answer, she's thinking about importing a car in the next few weeks, and VRTing it the next day, but with the mandatory NCT, and NCT dates being pushed out as far as October now, how will she be able to VRT the car if she can't NCT it?

    She won't need an NCT to VRT the car. She wouldn't be able to book an NCT until she has an Irish VRC anyway.

    Weren't they changing the rules for importing so that you need a mandatory NCT?

    The first step in getting an NCT for an imported car is to get the details on their system from the VRC. Unless that's changed (which I doubt) you won't be able to NCT it until after the VRT is paid.

    Also, it wouldn't make sense for them to make an NCT a requirement. It would likely reduce the amount of money coming in.

    It has not been brought into force yet, I think its next year at the earliest before it will come in.

    That makes sense. Introducing it next year after car testing has 'caught up' and when the new NCT contract is starting would be realistic.

    Any idea how they'll work this, how can you NCT a car without an Irish registration?

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles or cartons to avoid the DRS fee.

    They couldn't realistically do it right now but the NCT contract is moving from SGS to Applus RTD next January. That would be the ideal time to update the rules, procedures, etc as it's effectively going to be a whole new operation.
