Every year Government agencies and Departments waste millions of euro on the maintenance of paper-based systems for those who do not have access to online services. The Revenue Commissioners spent more than €500,000 to establish a paper-based system for returning the local property tax which could have been more efficiently delivered through the local post office network. Every sub-post office has the same information technology system as the GPO in Dublin. Rather than maintaining separate systems, we should be making use of the resources available through this network.
