Clondalkin Motor Tax Office To Close

The motor tax office in Clondalkin, South Dublin, is to close.

Dublin City council said motor tax offices have experienced "a significant reduction in business" since the driver license processing was transferred to the national driver licence service (NDLS) at the end of October this year.

More than 70% of Dublin motor tax customers now tax online.

The Council also said the option of taking a car off the road retrospectively is no longer possible, meaning drivers can take their car off the road for an advance period by using the online service.

The motor tax service has been reviewed and it was decided it is not possible to keep three offices open for the level of service now required by customers.

The motor tax office in Clondalkin will close effective 24 December 2013. Staff from the Clondalkin office will be reassigned across the city council to fill vacancies in other service areas.

Tax offices in Smithfield and Ballymun will remain open.
