Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Catherine Murphy: First, I wish a good morning or, as it is now, good afternoon to the witnesses and welcome them. I, too, would like to add my voice to those who commended the efforts that we saw over the past week. Some areas did it on tight resources. When the review occurs, in the case of some of those resources it will be beneficial to look at where those deficiencies are so that the effort can be even...

Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Catherine Murphy: I accept that people are employed, but there probably needs to be workforce management to some degree where some of the local authorities that have to cater for an increased population are unable to play catch-up in staffing. I put some tables together to look at the trend. The trend is that in the case of County Wicklow, for example, which the Department uses as a case in point in its...

Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Catherine Murphy: The lack of transparency and the effort one must make to understand some of this are not healthy. I believe it will expose the funding system, given that people were told that a certain amount of their local property tax would be retained. There was a big pitch that they would see improvements in their areas, whereas there was a diminution of the fund from the point of view of motor tax and...

Is it intended to look at assets or needs and resources again or will an entirely different approach be taken?

Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Catherine Murphy: I suppose we will have to wait and see what the Minister has to say on that. There are places that have a dearth of public facilities because they have not inherited them. It is very difficult to count that. What one has not got is as much of an issue as what one has, in terms of modelling any fair funding system.

They are not the only local authorities that fall under the self-fund category under the local property tax, LPT. How does one decide on the balance between housing and roads?

Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Catherine Murphy: The witnesses said that they allocate road grants based on road length. Does road usage come into it? There is a world of difference between a road that is used by HGVs, for instance, in terms of the damage they do compared to a little rural road.

Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Catherine Murphy: That is a very sweeping statement. I expect if one was to ask local authorities, depending on whether one was speaking to the road engineer or the councillors, one might find a different response. We heard this morning that condition surveys are done for national roads. Why are they not done on local roads?
