The Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government holds and administers the national driver file licence records, and I have asked that Department for the statistics which the Deputy has requested as regards the current number of motorcycle drivers on full and provisional licences.

I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 297 — reference number 3430/04 — on 4 February 2004 regarding measures being taken to reduce the waiting time for driving tests.
