Summary
The government has approved a major road safety bill that will eliminate the paper motor tax disc — but don’t ditch yours just yet, it’s not law until the Oireachtas passes it. This move, part of a broader digital transformation, leverages modern number plate readers to verify tax status without needing a physical disc. Motor tax itself remains mandatory, and the bill also empowers local councils like Cork to access collision data for smarter road planning. Until the bill is finalized, keep that disc on — or risk a hefty 60 euro fine. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
