Another thing is happening in that section as well. Obviously it is being done to promote online registration or payment of motor tax. That is perfectly fine. Anyway, those who are making payments on a quarterly basis are being penalised to the tune of €120. In contrast, those using a one-payment system can do so on the basis of €20.

The Committee of Public Accounts will be taking the Department to task on that as well. Those are absolute cowboy tactics. No additional administration charges are incurred yet people are charged over €100 more. It is shocking. I have no wish to steal Deputy Sean Fleming's thunder because he will be going after them on that as well.
