Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 July 2012
117 Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans for the tendering of the ID photograph element of the new driver licence card; and the measures he will take to ensure that there will be no detrimental effect on jobs already providing this service. [32092/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Road Safety Authority (RSA) is responsible for the introduction of the new plastic card driving licence and will also, from January 2013, be the national driver licensing authority. The new system of driver licensing will require the RSA to tender for customer interface services. I understand from the RSA that they intend to ask tenderers for this service to offer their own proposals for the capture of photo ID.
