Question:

982 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Transport the plans he has to issue renewal notices prior to the expiry of full driving licences; the timescale envisaged for the introduction of any such a system (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21612/04]

Written answers

Minister for Transport (Mr. Brennan)

My Department is liaising with the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, which holds and administers the licence records in the national driver file, with a view to having the necessary arrangements for the issue of renewal notices from the national driver file put in place. It is the intention that issue of renewal notices will commence early in 2005.
