Questions (969)

Sandra McLellan

Question:

969. Deputy Sandra McLellan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views that it is acceptable that a person (details supplied) in County Cork did not receive a renewed provisional licence in a timely manner from the National Driver Licence Service, which meant the person could not sit a driving test; if a new test date will be provided without any additional fee; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11411/15]

Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The operation of the National Driver Licensing Service, and the operation of the driver testing service, are statutory responsibilities of the Road Safety Authority. I have therefore referred the question to the Authority for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
