Written answers

Minister for Transport (Mr. Brennan)

There is no grant assistance available from my Department for driving instruction. Applicants for a heavy goods vehicle or a bus driving test who are unemployed for a continuous period of 12 months on the date of the application, and who are registered with FÁS, are not required to pay an application fee to undergo the driving test.
