Question:

84. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Transport the reason learner permits have not been extended when most learner drivers have been unable to complete their EDT or sit their driver tests; the reason these learner drivers now have to pay €35 to renew their licence while they wait for the full resumption of driver lessons and tests; if he will have this matter reconsidered; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
