Motor Vehicle (Duties and Licences) Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).

 

I welcome the section in the Bill allowing for on-line processing of motor tax applications. For years people used to spend three or four hours queuing up to tax a car at the office in Chancery Street. The service has improved with increased staff levels and better use of technology. People are now guaranteed that it will take less than an hour to tax a car. This is a huge improvement considering the number of cars in Dublin. While the decentralisation of some of these services to the suburbs was costly and entailed negotiation with staff and unions, it has proved extremely successful.
