The figures also reveals that 47 percent of cars sold were in tax band A and 53 percent in band B. March was the strongest month for scrappage activity with 26 percent followed by February (20 percent) and April (19 percent). June had just four percent of scrappage sales - although a delay in collecting the data could account for this figure.
As with general new car sales, Dublin was the highest with 24 percent of sales followed by Cork with 15.56 percent and Limerick with 5.28 percent. Leitrim was the county with the fewest scrappage sales, posting just 48 (0.55 percent) in the first six months of the scheme.
