I propose to take Questions Nos. 939 to 943, inclusive, together.

The review of the motor tax on-line system was completed in February 2007, and laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas and presented to the Select committee. The report concluded that the system has improved customer service through improved convenience/access and reduced transaction times/costs for citizens using the service. The report also found that the on-line system is the most administratively efficient licence renewal channel both in terms of productivity and cost per transaction.

The review of the rural water programme will be completed this month. The review of the Rental Accommodation Scheme will be completed in March 2008 and will cover the period from commencement up to the end of 2007. The review of the ex-post ERDF element of the Water Services Infrastructure Provision of the Economic and Social Infrastructure Operational Programme will be undertaken and completed in 2008 as scheduled.
