396 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government his plans to review the system whereby full year payment of motor tax ensures a discount versus quarterly and half yearly methods in view of the growing financial pressures faced by individuals and families who may find it hard to pay motor tax all at once; if he has costed the savings in staffing and printing that accrue by making staggered payments dearer; his views on reducing the differential to cover administration costs only; if he will examine new methods such as direct debit payments which would allow for a monthly payment, plus processing costs, which could ideally work out at an annual rate cheaper than the cumulative half yearly or quarterly rate; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
