Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 November 2014
486. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government further to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 524 and 620 of 6 June 2012, if will provide a costing of implementing a direct debit system for motor tax payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45376/14]
View answerI have no plans currently to introduce a direct debit payment option for motor tax and my Department has, therefore, not fully costed the introduction and implementation of a direct debit system. The introduction of such a system would also involve the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, which has responsibility for overseeing the operation of the National Vehicle Driver File and the associated IT systems.
