Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Pre-legislative Scrutiny of Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2019

Mr. Declan Naughton:

On 24 February, the extension for full licences was announced and that covers somebody from 1 December to the end of June. Therefore, anybody who has a renewal, their licences will be extended by ten months. There was no announcement at that stage about learner permits. I understand that the Department is considering the matter. It would be a decision nationally for ourselves. We do not need EU sanction because learner permits are a national matter. So that consideration is happening in that space, I understand.
