The Department of Transport are considering the possibility of allowing Gardaí to use speed cameras to catch motor tax dodgers in the future.
The new proposal comes after a recent report found that the state suffered a massive loss since 2011 with more and more motorists refusing to pay road tax.
It is understood that the department have approached the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government to come up with a solution that would “evaluate methods of assessing motor tax compliance rates in Ireland”.
One of the proposals would see the use of cameras on motorways and tolling points to log the details of evaders.
Although such a system would most likely face a number of complications as accessing motorists details would violate the Data Protection Act.
