Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 November 2022
202. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Transport his views on matters raised in correspondence by a person (details supplied) in relation to D1 licence holders; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [57289/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe holder of a category D1 licence can drive a vehicle designed and constructed for up to 16 passengers, in addition to the driver, and with a maximum length not exceeding 8 metres.
If a person wishes to drive a vehicle designed to carry more than 16 passengers, they must obtain a category D licence.
The vehicles which may be driven under each licence category are set out in Directive 2006/126/EC. Accordingly, I am not in a position to change these requirements.
