144 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Transport the mechanisms in place to re-issue lost driving licences, when the local authority has failed to maintain a record; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6551/04]
Amharc ar fhreagra178 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Transport the plans he has to put mechanisms in place where the issuing authority has no record of a driving licence; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6606/04]
Amharc ar fhreagra194 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Transport the plans he has to put a system in place to re-issue lost driving licences when the local authority has failed to maintain a record; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6550/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 144, 178 and 194 together.
Under the Road Traffic Act 1961 and the Road Traffic (Licensing of Drivers) Regulations 1999 to 2001, it is a matter for the appropriate licensing authority to determine the eligibility of a person for a duplicate driving licence and to issue licences. I have no plans to change this arrangement.
