Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 June 2020
952. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the discussions he has had with representatives of driving schools and driving instructors in relation to the necessary preparations and systems to be put in place to enable resumption of driving lessons; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9247/20]
View answerBoth my Department and the Road Safety Authority, the body responsible for licensing and inspecting driving instruction in Ireland, have been engaging with queries from individual instructors and schools on an ongoing basis since the introduction of public health restrictions in March.
I should clarify to the Deputy, however that at this point neither the Department nor the Authority have been formally approached by industry representatives on the matter.
