Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

It is my understanding that the Motor Insurers’ Bureau of Ireland (MIBI) has launched a new National Fleet Database (NFD) that will contain the insurance details and licence plate numbers for all commercial fleet and motor trade vehicles on Irish roads.

The State Claims Agency (SCA) has confirmed to the OPW that there is no requirement for the OPW to update the National Fleet Database as its vehicles are covered under State indemnity and do not purchase commercial insurance for its vehicles.
