asked the Minister for Local Government if he is prepared to introduce early legislation to provide for a fitness test for drivers of motor vehicles before they are issued with a driving licence.

As I indicated in a reply to a recent question, I am not at present in a position to indicate what decision will be reached on any particular aspect of road traffic control in connection with the proposals for new road traffic legislation which are at present under consideration.
Is the Minister in a position to indicate when this consideration will be concluded?
I hope to have something out by next session but I am just hopeful rather than very definite about it.
Considering all the work that was done before it is pretty slow progress.
That is true. It has been a big help.
