Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 April 2013
243. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will ensure that persons in County Kerry have driver licences issued to them as soon as possible (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19570/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe issuing of driver licences is a matter for the Road Safety Authority (RSA), which became the national driver licensing authority in January of this year in accordance with the provisions of the Road Safety Authority (Commercial Vehicle Roadworthiness) Act 2012. I have no role in the processing of driver licence applications and no power to intervene in individual cases. I have therefore forwarded this query to the RSA, and I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a reply has not been received within ten days.
