- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays Affecting Car Tests and Driver Tests: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)
Gerry Horkan: This question may be for Mr. Waide. When renewing motor tax, people still need to provide their insurance details. They used to have to confirm having a valid NCT certificate. That was scrapped a long time ago. Is there any link to the insurance policy numbers that people type in online? Is that ever checked? Could I get away with stating that I am with Allianz and put the number in as...

Gerry Horkan: I am just wondering. If I go in and apply for my motor tax, the system looks for my insurance details. I am wondering if there is an automatic check that it is valid information or not.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays Affecting Car Tests and Driver Tests: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)
Gerry Horkan: Therefore, when I apply for motor tax and I put in my insurance details, somewhere in the back office of something or other, automatically, they are checking that what I put in is correct or not correct.

Gerry Horkan: Obviously, it is in everybody's interest, including the rest of us who are insuring our cars, that every car is insured and that cars that do not have valid insurance are not able to apply for valid motor tax.

Gerry Horkan: As we speak, the road traffic Bill is going through the Seanad, literally from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. today, and, unfortunately, this is clashing so I am not in a position to be in both venues at the same time. I have many more questions and I could certainly come back in a bit more. I thank both of the witnesses for all they are doing. I think the online presence needs to be ramped up so we do...

Gerry Horkan: It is variable. Am I correct? Pass rates between one centre and another are quite different.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays Affecting Car Tests and Driver Tests: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)
Gerry Horkan: What is the best? What is the highest pass rate percentage-wise?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays Affecting Car Tests and Driver Tests: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)
Gerry Horkan: I am not asking which. If the best centre has a pass rate of 52% and the worst is 28%-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays Affecting Car Tests and Driver Tests: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)
Gerry Horkan: In that case, the best would not be more than 60% and the worst not would be less than 48%
