Mr. Brendan Walsh:

These are regulations that we have drafted with the Department of Transport. We are in the process of final engagement with the Department about how those regulations will be commenced. I would expect it to be imminent but that is obviously not a matter for ourselves but for the Department and the Minister. We are almost there to provide the regulations that are required to support it because there are significant changes that have to be made to how one drives and how one learns to drive by preventing someone from getting a learner permit because they have not passed their driving test. We fully share the Deputy’s concerns. It is something we are quite passionate about. There are 56,000 people who are on three or more learner permits.
