Mr. Gerry O'Malley:

It comes back to how the motor tax law currently stands. Motor tax becomes due based on the use of a vehicle in a public place. All we can do as the custodians of the database is to communicate with those individuals and remind them the system has noted they have not paid. After this, the data are passed to the Garda Síochána as part of an ongoing process with it. The list of untaxed vehicles ends up in the file used for the automatic camera detection system. This is the enforcement mechanism because the vehicle must be detected in use.
