Vehicle Registration Office to close 26.08.08

INISHOWEN people who need to register their cars could be forced to travel as far as Donegal Town under plans to close the Vehicle Registration Office at Lifford.
The Revenue Commissioners yesterday confirmed that plans to shut the Lifford office were currently under discussion.
It is not certain whether the vehicle registration function will be transferred to Donegal Town or Letterkenny. A Revenue spokesperson said while talks were continuing, no closure date had been set although it was likely to take effect before the end of this year. She could not comment on why the office was being closed or what would happen to the building. It's understood the Revenue invested around €20,000 within the last two years on new kitchen facilities for staff. Around eight people are currently employed at the Lifford office and it's uncertain where they will be expected to move under the relocation plans.
