Written answers

Minister for Transport (Mr. Cullen)

Mr. Buckley's amended application was received in my Department on 10 February 2006 and is currently being processed. My Department's customer service charter commits to issuing licences within ten working days. Mr. Buckley's licence is expected to be issued within this timeframe.
