Dublin City Council Closes Motor Tax Offices

Dublin City Council has announced that the Motor Tax Offices in Smithfield, Ballymun and Clondalkin will close to the public all next week.

As of Tuesday 29 October, applications for learner permits, driving licences and driver licence renewals can no longer be made through the Motor Tax Offices.
