Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 June 2016
524. Deputy Imelda Munster asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he is aware that persons from the Inishowen peninsula in County Donegal have to travel an unreasonable distance to attain a learner permit or driving licence at the National Driving Licence Service office in Letterkenny; if he will support the locating of a new office in the Inishowen peninsula. [18256/16]
View answerThe operation of the National Driver Licensing Service (NDLS), including the location of front offices, is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority, and I have no role in operational matters such as the location of NDLS offices. 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.
