More than 1,000 vehicles were scrapped through the second extension of the scrappage scheme.
The scheme, originally announced in the 2014 Budget and extended for a second time this August, has been completely taken up.
A total of 1,146 vehicles benefited from the €900,000 total grant allocated by the government. The initiative was planned to encourage people to dispose of their old vehicles and invest in new cars with lower emissions.
The scheme offering grants to encourage the purchase of electric vehicles and quadricycles is still applicable.
