View answerAs the Deputy is aware, historically Ireland has not issued driving licences to asylum-seekers.
As I advised in response to Question no. 3 on 19 September 2018, I have asked my officials to re-examine the question of whether we should issue driving licences to asylum-seekers, this matter is still under consideration in consultation with my colleague the Minister for Justice and Equality.
