Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

A review of the administration and organisation of the Transport Management CPC is under way in my Department.  In the interim, I have introduced revised criteria in relation to the authorisation of training providers for the Transport Management CPC.  These revised criteria are in effect since 1 November 2015 and bring about an opening of the market for prospective training providers who demonstrate compliance with the criteria.  The revised criteria are published on my Department's website.
