Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

General Scheme of the Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2019: Minister for Transport

Mr. Ray O'Leary:

That is exactly the kind of issue we are looking at. The master licence record and the motor third-party liability database are the very building blocks we need to control this type of issue. It is legal to own a car without having a licence, but not legal to drive it. Any further controls in that regard are not viable without putting in place the master licence record. That is the infrastructure by which we can regulate this kind of activity.
