613. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport further to Parliamentary Question No. 1671 of 17 September 2014, in instances where the national vehicle driver file does not contain a record of licences surrendered by drivers to motor tax offices, the way these drivers are informed when their driving licences are due to be returned to them. [36482/14]
View answerIn all instances where driving licences are surrendered to a licensing authority, at the end of the period of disqualification matters regarding the return of the driving licence are appropriate to the relevant licensing authority. In accordance with Section 3(2) of the Road Traffic Act 2002 my Department issues a notice to the relevant drivers on the ending of the period of disqualification and of the removal of the penalty points from the records on the NVDF system.
