The current position is that the Online Motor Tax review was completed in December 2006 and cleared by my Department. The review, together with a copy of the independent quality assessment, has been forwarded to the Department of Finance secretariat of the Value for Money and Policy Review Initiative. The review has also been laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas, presented to the Select Committee on the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and published on the Department's website.

The review analyses the success of the online motor tax system and makes recommendations as to how the project can deliver high quality service into the future. Consideration is being given to the report's recommendations as part of the ongoing development and implementation of the online service.

As the proposal is for an ex-post review in respect of works that have already been completed, no direct related savings are anticipated. My Department is in contact with the Department of Finance in relation to the review.
