I propose to take Questions Nos. 1816, 1837 and 1838 together.
Ireland has successfully reached agreement on driving licence exchange with a number of Canadian provinces to date and work is progressing on an agreement with British Columbia which I expect to have in place shortly.
Driving licence exchange agreements take time to arrive at, and require the relevant authorities on each side to study and compare the two licensing regimes, so that each side can be satisfied that they are compatible. On the Irish side, this task is undertaken by the Road Safety Authority (RSA).
The RSA has reached an agreement in principle with British Columbia. It will be necessary to arrange formal signing, after which I as Minister will sign an order under the Road Traffic Acts giving effect to the agreement. I look forward to doing this in the near future.
