Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The Road Safety Authority has responsibility for driver licensing and I have therefore forwarded your question to it for direct reply.  Please contact my office if a response has not been received within 10 days. Literacy supports are a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Department of Education and Skills.

The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
