The Irish Times - Letters to the Editor.

Sir, – A number of weeks ago, my partner and I received a vehicle licensing certificate in the post.

It had our address on it, but was not for a name or a car that we recognised.

We returned it to sender with a cover note and promptly forgot about it.

Yesterday morning, I received the same certificate again and my cover note, along with a letter informing me that it is apparently my responsibility to report the error to my local Garda station.

Does the Department of Transport not care to fix its own mistakes? – Yours, etc,

RICHARD BANNISTER,

Kildare.
