Hi Nicholas,

There is no government-funded scrappage scheme in place in Ireland at the time of writing (July 2014), but those that existed in the past were set up to encourage buying a new car, not a used one. Some car makers continue to use the term 'scrappage' for trade-in deals they are offering, but to our knowledge these also focus solely on new car purchases.

Hope that helps
