The South-East Regional Authority together with the Local Authorities in the region and the Local Government Computer Services Board (LGCSB) developed an 'eReceipts Web Interface' initiative. Through this initiative the facility to pay for certain services on-line has being provided to local authority customers.

The services selected for this included commercial water charges, housing loan repayments, housing rents, refuse collection charges, landfill charges, fire charges, commercial rates and parking fines.

In addition to the Internet on-line system, a new Voice Recogintion Payments Services for some 17 local authorities in the South-East Region developed under the project was launched in Wexford in July 2006 by Mr. Dick Roche, T.D., Minister for the Environment, Heritage & Local Government. The South-East is the first region in Ireland to develop such a facility covering a comprehensive range of services. This new facility has provided all local authorities in the South-Est with the ability to interact with, and provide the best possible levels of customer services to their customers.
