Question:

224. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Transport further to Parliamentary Question No. 188 of 3 December 2020 and in view of information on the NDLS (details supplied), if persons who obtained their class B manual driver licence prior to 30 November 2013 are precluded from availing of the exemption in question and having the code 78 restriction removed from their driver licence record upon request. [42742/20]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport

I can confirm that those who obtained their manual driving licence for category B prior to 2013 can have the automatic transmission code (code 78) removed from category C and D driving licences upon request.  There is a cost associated with having a driving licence re-issued.
