I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that new on-line facilities have greatly reduced the demand for service at their vehicle registration offices. An increasing number of motor dealers now register new vehicles on-line themselves — currently approximately 80% of such registrations nationally are on-line — in preference to using the facilities at vehicle registration offices. In addition, a new valuation inquiry system has been introduced, allowing all customers to obtain vehicle registration tax quotations on second-hand vehicles on-line. The impact of the effect of the introduction of on-line facilities on the work of vehicle registration services is being kept under review.
