I would def hope its the old road tax bracket, but you do pay the higher vrt rate.
And i should be registering my car on Friday so should be able to let you know then, but there'll be war if im payin 2000 for road tax!!

ok guys i got this from motor tax online
Cars First Registered Outside Ireland
A private car first registered abroad prior to 1 January 2008 will be taxed on engine
size (cc). The new CO2 based system does not apply to second-hand imports that were registered abroad prior to 2008.
A private car first registered abroad between 1 January 2008 and 30 June 2008
inclusive and subsequently registered in Ireland will be taxed on whichever is the lesser of the motor tax rates based engine (cc) or CO2 emissions.
A private car first registered abroad after 1 July 2008 and subsequently registered in
Ireland will be taxed on the CO2 rate.
From what i under stand from this, imports pay old road tax eg. E600
New 08 09 cars pay on emissions eg. E2000 for S2000
Im going to call the tax office now just to be sure
