Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 June 2021
300. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Transport if it is expected that those drivers over the age of 70 who availed of an extension to their driver licences without submitting a medical certificate will be required to justify that extension with a medical certificate in the coming months. [32053/21]
View answerThe requirement for persons over 70, without an identified or specified illness, to provide a medical report when applying for a driving licence or learner permit is exempted until 30 June 2021.
After that date, a person aged 70 years or over will be required to submit a medical report when they next renew their driving licence. The medical report must be dated not more than one month prior to the date of application.
A medical report will not be required to cover the period of any extensions granted.
