170. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport further to Parliamentary Question No. 454 of 29 April 2025, the reason a Garda must witness the form RF111A being signed at a Garda station given there is no onus by the Garda to inspect the vehicle; if Peace Commissioners or Commissioners for Oaths could also fulfil this role; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The legislation and policy reasoning behind motor tax form RF111A are outlined in the response to Parliamentary Question No. 454 of 29 April 2025.

The form is required to be completed by the applicant in the presence of a member of An Garda Síochána and to be signed and stamped by that officer for verification purposes.

The same requirement applies to a number of other motor tax forms such as the RF134 application for replacement documents.

As outlined in the previous response there are no proposals to amend these procedures for the present.
