City car for Cork - Magrithea

Can anyone recommend

(a) a small, low emission car for city motoring around Cork. My son lives there and pays ridiculously high tax on the VW Golf he imported (1200 euros a year!) as it has high emissions. He would like something with the lowest possible emissions

(b) a dealer in or near Cork he could buy something from that fits the above spec.

Thank you

City car for Cork - Bromptonaut

Looks as though ie went over to emmissions based tax in around 2008 with an engine size system in place for vehicles first registered before that date. The current rates are here the page has a link to the old capacity bands.

My BIL lives in Cork County but way out west towards Bantry so I don't think he'll have much idea dealers in Cork city.
