Question:

142. Deputy James O'Connor asked the Minister for Transport if he will report on the IBT training for motorbikes (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35958/21]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport

The validity period of Initial Basic Training (IBT) certificates is set out in legislation. Making a change to the validity of an existing certificate requires a change in law.

I can confirm that a further extension to IBT certificates is currently being worked on within my Department. An update is expected shortly.
