Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 September 2014
276. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the steps he will take with the Road Safety Authority and the National Driver Licence Service to ensure that drivers whose licences are due for renewal are duly informed in a timely fashion of the fact that they are due for renewal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36262/14]
View answerThe Road Safety Authority has responsibility for the operation of the National Driver Licensing Service.
The RSA informs me that letters are issued on a monthly basis to those whose licences are due for renewal. However, given that the expiry date of a licence is clearly visible on a driver licence, drivers must bear some level of responsibility to check when their licence is due for renewal and to apply for a new licence in a timely fashion.
