Minister of State at the Department of Transport

All enquires relating to driver licensing are handled by the National Driver Licence Service, the provision of which I have delegated to the Road Safety Authority (RSA) under the relevant legislation. I have forwarded the Deputy's query to the RSA for direct reply. If he has not heard from the Authority in 10 working days, I would ask that he contact my office directly.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
