The information requested is set out in the following table:
| Website | Site Reference | Visitors per month (approx.) | Cost (inc. VAT) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Department of Transport | gov.ie | 94,500 | €12,217 – Covers the first four sites |
| Air Accident Investigation Unit | aaiu.ie | Not Available | |
| Road Transport Operator Licensing online | rtol.ie | Not Available | |
| Maritime Education and Training Ireland | seafarers.ie | Not Available | |
| On Line Motor Tax | motortax.iemotarchain.ie | 350,000 | €1,260,000 |
| Change of vehicle ownership | motortrans.ie | 1,000 | |
| End of Life Vehicle | motorelv.ie | 100 |
Several of the Department’s websites have been rationalised and the information is now available on Gov.ie.
The Driver Vehicle and Computer Services Division (DVCSD) manage three Departmental online websites:
- Online Motor Tax Website (OMT) at www.motortax.ie enables vehicle owners tax their vehicle online
- Online Change of Vehicle Ownership (CVO) (www.motortrans.ie ) enables approved motor dealers notify vehicle ownership changes to the National Vehicle and Driver File (NVDF) online; and
- Online End of Life Vehicle (ELV) (www.motorelv.ie ) service enables Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATF’s) notify end-of-life vehicle (ELV) instances to the NVDF online
The total cost to host, licence and manage the 3 online websites per annum is approximately €1.26m. A technology refresh of the National Vehicle and Driver File (NVDF) and its associated systems is undertaken annually and the cost of this is up to €2m.
