Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 January 2018
1449. Deputy Danny Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans to review the process for replacing a lost or stolen driving licence (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1670/18]
View answerThe requirements for an application for a driving licence, including a duplicate licence for one which has been lost or stolen, are set out in regulations for which I am responsible.
The requirements for an application reflect the importance of the driving licence in itself and the wide use of driving licences as proof of identity, and are necessary to ensure that the person is who they claim to be and that all appropriate checks are made.
I have no plans to revise these regulations.
