Hi F D,

That, unfortunately, is impossible for us to tell. Probably, as a proportion, fewer than would have been the case in previous years as stronger new car sales here since 2014 have been replenishing the used car fleet in Ireland a little. The answer is probably 'quite a lot', but it’s not possible for us to say more than that.
