Which 2008 saloon car meets Irish emissions requirements?

What would be a recommended 2008 saloon car to purchase that will fulfil these requirements: diesel engine 1.9l to 2.2l, low C02 emission (<140 g/km, maximum of 155g/km), 130-150bhp, six-speed gearbox and cruise control? The car needs to be a 2008 to qualify for low Irish road tax based on emissions.
