A chara, – One reason why the cost of second-hand cars is so high in Ireland is due to the fact that we are the only EU country that drives on the left-hand side.
In 1967, Sweden successfully transitioned from driving on the left-hand side to driving on the right-hand side.
Swedish car users now have access to a second-hand car market associated with a population of almost 750 million people.
Many Irish families are under pressure from our cost of living crisis.

One way of addressing this is to put plans in place to change to driving on the right-hand side, and thereby to have access to a much larger supply of second-hand cars, and to share compatibility on our roads with the rest of the EU, and indeed, most of the world. – Is mise,
