We couldnt implement a system for wages in the HSE, we couldn't manage evoting, PULSE isn't fit for purpose (unless its for the wrong purpose), we can't intergrate Dublin Transport...the list goes on and on for our IT failures in this country.

And please don't quote GDPR, we had this problem long before GDPR Regs came in. Mindboggling

It made work for me having to go up there, find parking, go in and produce it. It made work for the guy in there, recording the details. And it made work for the guy who requested I produce it, checking that it was produced. But to what end? 3 people have now done some work - for what? For the original guy to just cross out that i did it? Is that all it is - a box ticking exercise? Surely the Gardai know if I have a valid licence or not from the computer system? And if they dont - why dont they? Why is millions being wasted annually on people traipsing up and showing their licence and 2 Guards wasting time on it? Is it just make work?

If multiple results are returned for the name/dob combination then further criteria can be used. This is not a difficult or unique problem.

ohnonotgmail wrote: » name and date of birth should suffice for most people. There is nothing magical or particularly difficult (from a technical perspective) about this. The real issue at the moment is that they have only been storing photos digitally since the plastic cards were introduced so anybody still on the old licence would not have a photo available as a digital file. Once all the old licences have expired this problem goes away.
