Ceist:

36. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans to reinstate the national driver licence centre in the Carndonagh public services, Carndonagh, County Donegal in view of the fact that it is an hour's drive for many Inishowen residents to Letterkenny; if not, the reason for same; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The operation of the National Driver Licensing Service is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority, and I have no role in these matters.

I have therefore referred the Question to the Authority for direct reply.

I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.

The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
