I know that the tax office was there, it is called Friary road, but they have now moved to Aras Cill Dara on the Limerick/Newbridge road. I suspect thats where you need to go.

If you drive up through the town, turn right at the lights at the Primavera restaurant. Head out this road and take the Left at the next set of lights, which are currently disabled I think.
You will see the large glass building on your right, this is the council offices.

Cheers folks!!

Has the VRO moved there? In Feb it was still off Main St.

Nope, that's the Kildare Co. council offices which has the tax office but not the VRO office. The VRO is at St. Davids house on the North main street, pretty much immediately south of Dara cinema, (you may need to go through the gates depending on exactly where the VRO office is).

Ya, thoughts so. There is a carpark at the back.

This is where it is:

Ah, I just assumed they would move the whole lot into the massive and extreemly expensive new building.

But i suppose it makes sense too have two buildings and two inherently related Motoring public services in two seperate buildings ...

So the VRO is behind the Permanent TSB!

Nope, the building behind TSB is where the tax office used to be based, not sure what that building is used for now.

The difference between road tax and VRT is (I think) road tax goes to local authorities through the Dept for the environment, thus why the County Council will perform collection duties. VRT is collected for the government centrally so the money is going to different places.

As for the "massive and extremely expensive" new building, funnily enough it's not big enough for requirements so the Council are having use other office space for some departments. Go figure!

Don't think so.
The Tax office had been in the redbrick building on friary road since before 1992.

The offices behind the TSB had some of the health board functions in it, and now it seems it also has the VRO aswell.

Apologies, you're right. I was confusing First Active with TSB!
