I saw that today on their email, 20% sounds excessive.
We all know the rules and they are not the hardest rules in the world to comply with.

With the help of Utube and Ebay almost all small issues can be resolved fer pittance, fer example I had a small dent in me passenger door, so I went on Utube to find out how to fix it, then went to Ebay and bought a Bridge dent puller fer 5.71 from China.

Silver paint repair stick from China, I can't remember the price but it was pittance.

Car seat covers, a full set from Malaysia 15 bucks, (Easy on, easy off).

Foil blanket fer my safety kit, 1Euro from China.

All these very cheap items will get you through suitability.

I saw the newsletter too.  Sounds like you just need to wash your car and make sure the safety kit in the boot is alright and that'll cover 90% of the fails. 
Oh, and make sure you spell your name right on the insurance cert.

Get there early, if they take you and something is wrong, you may have time to buy or fix the problem. They can't fail you before the appointment time !!

Above is the full (revised) list of what needs to be in your safety kit.
Photo taken from the suitability center in Cork.

Fer me before next suitability I will be taking that photo above and my safety kit in to my local chemist and let the pharmacist sort it all out because I haven't a clue what most items on that list are.

I do often wonder the same, as in the Foil blanket I bought fer a single Euro with Free P+P,
manufactured in China and delivered to Ireland, it doesen't make sense ??
