Number of new cars sold in 2006/07

I googled this but it seems to be a percentage change from the previous year without giving actual figures. How many new cars were sold in 2006 and 2007 in Ireland?

From mywheels there was 247559 cars sold in 2007.

The 2006 census puts the population of the republic at 4,239,848.

One new car for every 17 man, woman and child in the country. Thats pretty shocking.

Thats a lot of additional potential customers than I was expecting, although so far this year the new car figure is only 66962 but considering the situation that is still higher than I was expecting.
