    Take a look at http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056002732 lots of discussion about this.

    However... If you are driving a van you get it tested for a DOE cert (a certificate of roadworthiness) at a commercial vehicle testing centre not an NCT testing centre.
    You can then tax it privately if you have it for private use only.
    Or you can tax it commercially if you have it for commercial use. But you may be asked to prove that you are using it as part of your business.
