I will not press Mr. O'Mahony on that. The Department is responsible for maintaining the national vehicle and driver file, NVDF. The report expresses some concern about its accuracy and how up to date and relevant it is. I gather there are 5.8 million vehicles on the register, of which 5.1 million are current, 2.5 million of which are taxed and 2.6 million untaxed. We have a legacy issue of 1.8 million coming from an old system and 500,000 with no tax activity and so on. It seems to me that a database that is not accurate is not worthwhile.
